AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The novels examined in this criticism focus on Asian-Australian women in contemporary Australia. Examples of the difficulties and identity-threatening tranisitions the characters undergo in their efforts to move across the borders of two cultures are given particular attention. Both authors share a dynamic engagement with notions of female subjectivity which provide insight into ways of belonging in Australia and the world.
