Australia's official Reconciliation project confronted Australians
with the continuous violent dispossession suffered by the country's
Indigenous peoples and the pressing need to offer a public apology
to them. While trauma became a tool whereby to create paths of
empathy and reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous
Australians, it was also a manipulative strategy to deny the
country's shameful history. This book examines Gail Jones's
literary contribution to such debates. It examines Gail Jones's
questioning of Australia's victimology narratives, and offers an
insightful discussion of the transmedia, transnational and
multidirectional approach to trauma in the reconciliation-related
novels she published during John Howard's vexed Liberal Government
(1996-2007).
