Works about this Work

Metamorphosis : Travel Narratives and Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal Relations in the 1930s Paul Miller , 2002 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Studies , no. 75 2002; (p. 85-92, notes 189-190)
Validating Preferences : Aborigines and the Narratives of Two Missionary Travellers Paul Miller , 1998 single work criticism
— Appears in: Colloquy : Text Theory Critique , Autumn no. 2 1998; (p. 5-15)
Analysing the narratives of James Backhouse and R. B. Plowman, Paul Miller concludes that readers need to be aware of the strategies adopted by the two writers 'to validate their preferences'. Readers need to appreciate 'the pool of socio-cultural circumstances that condition' Backhouse and Plowman's preferences. 'What emerges', says Miller, 'are texts with "facts" that are all but transparent and contructions of Aboriginal peoples adapted to affirm the travellers' personal and imperial agendas'.
