1 First Nations Transnationalism Declan Fry , 2023 single work criticism
— Appears in: The Cambridge Companion to the Australian Novel 2023; (p. 228-242)

'This chapter examines the transnational Australian novel from a different perspective, focusing on First Nations writing. Whereas most visions of the global privilege literary institutions whose power stems from existing political and global inequalities, First Nations writing fosters a transnationalism of resistance, solidarity, and fungibility. It considers Alexis Wrights novels in translation, and writers engaged in collaborative projects.' (Publication abstract)
