Issues d'une culture ancrée dans l'oralité et dans laquelle le collectif dépasse l'individuel, les femmes aborigènes d'Australie présentent des autobiographies à caractère hybride mêlant tradition et modernité. A travers leurs récits, elles racontent l'histoire de leur vie, reflet de l'histoire d'un peuple. Enlevées à leurs familles étant enfants, arrachées à leur culture traditionnelle, la majorité des femmes aborigènes ont été élevées dans des missions dirigées par les Blancs. Autobiographies « prétextes » visant à présenter une version aborigène de l'histoire australienne, leurs récits sont-ils pour autant scientifiquement fiables ? Quelles limites la mémoire impose-t-elle au récit historique ? A partir d'un corpus de vingt autobiographies publiées entre 1972 (fin de la politique d'assimilation) et 2 000 (début officiel du processus de réconciliation), Fanny Duthil analyse comment deux générations d'auteurs ont traversé la politique d'assimilation. Oscillant désormais entre deux mondes aux valeurs différentes, les femmes aborigènes parlent avec nostalgie de leur culture ancestrale et offrent au lecteur une vision du monde « autre », plus spirituelle.

'The Swan Book' is set in the future, with Aboriginals still living under the Intervention in the north, in an environment fundamentally altered by climate change. It follows the life of a mute teenager called Oblivia from the displaced community where she lives in a hulk, in a swamp filled with rusting boats, and thousands of black swans driven from other parts of the country, to her marriage to Warren Finch, the first Aboriginal president of Australia, and her elevation to the position of First Lady, confined to a tower in a flooded and lawless southern city.

The story of an urban-based high achieving Wiradyuri woman working to break down stereotypes and build bridges between black and white Australia.I'm Aboriginal. I'm just not the Aboriginal person a lot of people want or expect me to be.What does it mean to be Aboriginal? Why is Australia so obsessed with notions of identity? Anita Heiss, successful author and passionate advocate for Aboriginal literacy, rights and representation, was born a member of the Wiradyuri nation of central New South Wales but was raised in the suburbs of Sydney and educated at the local Catholic school.In this heartfelt and revealing memoir, told in her distinctive, wry style, with large doses of humour, Anita Heiss gives a firsthand account of her experiences as a woman with a Wiradyuri mother and Austrian father. Anita explains the development of her activist consciousness, how she strives to be happy and healthy, and the work she undertakes every day to ensure the world she leaves behind will be more equitable and understanding than it is today.
