Positioning Asian Australian Writing : A Study of Three Australian Literary Anthologies
2021
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Asiatic , June vol. 15 no. 1 2021; (p. 183–201)'This paper examines three anthologies of Australian literature: The Oxford Anthology of Australian Literature (1985), The Macmillan Anthology of Australian Literature (1990), and Macquarie PEN The Anthology of Australian Literature (2010). It focusses on the politics of inclusion in anthology-making and the mechanics surrounding theme, perception, and ideology about literature as a reflection of a nation’s culture and identity. The increasing popularity of Asian Australian writing in recent years has raised concerns about how it is perceived as part of the national literary tradition that is a relatively white space. Not much is discussed about how Asian Australian writing appears in anthologies despite increasing critical attention given to them as a literary genre. Informed by Asian Australian studies and anthology criticism, this study charts the trends in the inclusion of Asian Australian writing and how it is posited within the larger national canon.'

Locating Indigeneity in Anthologies of Australian Literature : The Rhetoric of Arrangement
2010
single work
criticism
— Appears in: The Journal of Australian Writers and Writing , May no. 1 2010; (p. 59-64) 'This essay will discuss the operation of major anthologies of Australian literature as re-enforcers of colonial imperialist ideals, particularly through the specific arrangement of texts. In these anthologies, indigenous voices and images are placed in provocative positions that work to maintain a sense of static identity or function in Australia. This study looks specifically at popular anthologies of Australian literature published by major presses after the dissolution of the White Australia Policy.' (p. 59) -
