"This book critically investigates the ways in which Aboriginal children and childhood
figure in Australia's cultural life, to mediate Australians' ambivalence about the
colonial origins of the nation, as well as its possible post-colonial futures. Engaging
with representations in literature, film, governmental discourse, and news and infotainment
media, it shows how ways of representing Aboriginal children and childhood serve a
national project of representing settler-Australian values, through the forgetting
of colonial violence. Analysing the ways in which certain negative aspects of Australian
nationhood are concealed, rendered invisible, and repressed through practices of representing
Aboriginal children and childhood, it challenges accepted 'shared understandings'
regarding Australian-ness and settler-colonial sovereignty. Through an innovative
interdisciplinary approach that engages critical theory, post-colonial theory, literary
studies, history, psychoanalysis, and philosophy, Representing Aboriginal Childhood
responds to urgent questions that pivot on the role of the Indigenous child within
settler nation-state formations. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology
and social geography, collective memory, politics and cultural studies"
