Compiled in 2017 by Fulbright scholar Travis Franks of the Department of English at Arizona State University, this is an introduction to settler colonial theory and contemporary settler colonial literature, its major and minor authors, their works, and the ideas involved with settler colonial writing in Australia, and, to a lesser extent, the United States, since the 1990s.

The Association for the Study of Australian Literature promotes the study, discussion and creation of Australian writing. It also seeks to increase awareness of Australian writing in the wider community and throughout the world.
