Recent Writing by Indigenous Women,
single work
criticism
(p. 2-3)
'To be in the enviable position of having too many books to choose from, in reviewing recent writing by Indigenous women, is a delight. It is impossible to comment adeguately on each books listed below, and these represent just a sample of the rich and varied body of literature that is pouring from the pens, tape recorders and computers of Indigenous writers today. Everything from ravishing children's picture books, like Moonglue, to the bilingual histories of traditional communities, related with deep integrity, to the brilliant autobiographies of Roberta Sykes and Evelyn Crawford: poetry, humour, polemic, novels and oral histories are rapidly filling in the gaps and silences of the last two hundred years of acknowledged Australian literature.'
