Silence as Expression: Sally Morgan's "My Place", Arlene A. Elder , single work criticism

Focuses on the problematic process of transforming Aboriginal oral story into written form. The article discusses the difficulties Sally Morgan encountered in tracking down her ancestors with regard to the traditions of Aboriginal 'orature' and western literary assumptions. It argues that Daisy's 'silence', her refusal to reveal everything, makes her a representative of a culture 'where the word was powerful and where there was no such genre as the confessional form' (23).
