AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Igor Maver provides a comprehensive overview of writing by Slovenian migrants to Australia. Maver, citing Milena Brgoč's Opisna bibliografija slovenskega tiska v Avstraliji, points out that over a hundred books have been published by Slovenian-heritage writers who live or have lived in Australia. The first part of Maver's article surveys literary production including that in journals and anthologies as well as books of poetry, novels, memoir and oral history; the second half provides a detailed analysis of three books of poetry by Jože Žohar.

    y separately published work icon Australian Made : A Multicultural Reader Sonia Mycak (editor), Amit Sarwal (editor), Sydney : Sydney University Press , 2010 Z1780622 2010 anthology criticism Australian Made is a collection of essays about the writers, the readers and the texts of multicultural Australia. Despite the different approaches they take, the essays address a number of questions which are important for understanding Australian multicultural society and Australia's national literary culture.
    How does multiculturalism intersect with different genres and generic conventions? How is cultural diversity expressed and enacted within life writing, women's writing, experimental writing, children's literature, poetry, prose and film? What does it mean to be a 'multicultural writer' in Australia today? What is a 'multicultural text'?
    Presenting the work of critics and scholars from both Australia and abroad, this collection creates a synergy between local and international perspectives as it explores what it means for a writer or a reader to be 'Australian' and a text to be 'Australian made' (Publisher website).

    'These selected essays on Canadian, Australian and New Zealand literatures often, although not always, consider individual texts and literary authors within the postcolonial paradigm. They discuss some of the most prominent, mostly contemporary literary authors in these genres, including, for example, Margaret Attwood, C. K. Stead, Christopher Kosh, David Malouf, Richard Flanagan, Andrew Riemer, Ouyang Yu, A. D. Hope, Teju Cole from the USA, and others. Several studies focus on significant issues in recent diasporic and transcultural writing in English, including specific Slovenian literary production, while some of the essays examine the literary representations of a country in a particular national collective consciousness.'
