1 Identity and Belonging in Mudrooroo’s Wild Cat Falling Ghatak Antara , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities , vol. 2 no. 2 2010; (p. 154-161) 'Wild Cat Falling, the rebellious, anti-colonial story by the black Australian author, Mudrooroo, tells us what 'belonging' means in Australia, when one is other than white. Written in an autobiographical mode, Mudrooroo's first novel, Wild Cat Falling is an avant-garde as it presents an interventionist discourse for the first time in the literary history of Australia directed towards opening up the space for self-determined representation by an Aboriginal. The novel retells the continuing entrapment of the Indigenous minority in an inequitable network of social, economic and cultural relationship that they have inherited from British conquest. This paper explores how the issues of identity and belonging make Wild Cat Falling an important interventionist discourse.' (Author's abstract, p. 154).
