The Literary Mirroring of Aboriginal Australia and the Caribbean
challenges the structural opposition of indigeneity and
creolisation through a historical and literary analysis of the
connections between the 'First and Last of the New Worlds':
Australia and the Caribbean. Dashiell Moore explores the
continuities between indigenous and creole lifeworlds in the work
of renowned Caribbean writers such as Édouard Glissant, Wilson
Harris, Sylvia Wynter, and Kamau Brathwaite, and prominent
Aboriginal Australian writers including Alexis Wright, Ali Cobby
Eckermann, and Lionel Fogarty. Common to these authors is their
reimagining of the inter-colonial other as a mirror image. This
image, achieved through opacity and projection, visualises in
creative ways both the movement to indigenisation in
post-independence Caribbean literature and the inter-indigenous
encounters of Aboriginal Australian literature. By upending the
antipodean relationship of the Caribbean and Australia, this
groundbreaking study offers radically new perspectives on the world
generated by literary relation.
