What is Anthology of Australian Aboriginal literature about?

1 online resource (xviii, 260 pages) "In a political system that renders them largely voiceless, Australia's Aboriginal people have used the written word as a powerful tool for over two hundred years. Anthology of Australian Aboriginal Literature presents a rich panorama of Aboriginal culture, history, and life through the writings of some of the great Australian Aboriginal authors. From Bennelong's 1796 letter to contemporary writing, Anita Heiss and Peter Minter have selected works that represent the range and depth of Aboriginal writing in English. Journalism, petitions, and political letters from both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are brought together with major works of poetry, prose, and drama from the mid-twentieth century onward. These works voice not only the ongoing suffering of dispossession but the resilience of Australia's Aboriginal people, their hope and joy."--Book cover Published in Australia under the title: Macquarie PEN Anthology of Aboriginal literature Includes bibliographical references and index Aboriginal Literature Anita Heiss and Peter Minter -- Letter to Mr Philips, Lord Sydney's Steward / Bennelong (c. 1764-1813) -- The Aboriginal or Flinders I
