By examining the works of First Nations storyteller Bill Neidjie and scholars Mary Graham and Jeanie Bell I want to dissect the meaning and complexities of story, Country and language, exploring the importance of an Indigenist framework for approaching Aboriginal literature — particularly for non-Indigenous people.

I am a researcher of literature and I am invested in understanding the political nature of language, and the context in which that language is embedded — even chaotic and unfocused language. I want to add a more “literary reading” to what has already been said of the UA definition of antisemitism, to expose subtexts that not even the leading lights of the Go8 cared to realise.
