Murali argues that the overall characteristic of Australian writing is 'inspired by bioregional narratives and it is an undeniable fact that they remain potentially rich in their capacity for subversion of the dominant coloniser's discourse, as well as an inspiration towards the celebration of an ecological wisdom'.

Notes

  • Epigraph: The terms 'non-human living things', 'ecosystems', and 'processes of resilience' are abstract; we encounter their reality in the world, in place. Acting in defense of, and witnessing to, place opens a gateway to conflict and to further moral dilemma. – Deborah Bird Rose, Reports from a Wild Country
