AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The matter of who speaks for and about whom is possibly the most sensitive and impassioned issue circulating within discourses of identity politics ... This paper addresses the particular protocol of speaking rights by way of examining a specific debate about Aboriginal identities in Australia. The debate took place in the late 1992 and early 1993 issues of [the journal] Oceania.' The author examines arguments in the debate, including that of Mudrooroo Nyoongah, against a background of Foucauldian theory.
