1 Making It Move : The Aboriginal in the Whitefella's Artifact Tim Youngs , 2009 single work criticism
— Appears in: Travel Writing, Form, and Empire : The Poetics and Politics of Mobility 2009; (p. 148-166) 'In 1984, artist Krim Benterrak, a Moroccan Berber resident in Australia since 1977, white Australian academic Stephen Muecke, and Aboriginal Australian Paddy Roe published Reading the Country: Introduction to Nomadology, (q.v.) dedicating the volume 'To the/nomads of Broome, always there and/always on the move'. Movement sets the course of the book. Hearing Aborigine Paddy Roe's expression for the production of Aboriginal culture, 'We must make these things move', Muecke 'reflect[s] on the potentially static nature of our project: the production of a whiteman's artefact, a book' and askes himself, 'How could I make this thing move?' (p. 148)
1 Interview with Robyn Davidson Tim Youngs (interviewer), 2005 single work interview
— Appears in: Studies in Travel Writing , vol. 9 no. 1 2005; (p. 21-36)
1 'A Daughter Come Home', The Travel Writings of Colleen J. McElroy Tim Youngs , 2004 single work criticism
— Appears in: New Literatures Review , October no. 42 2004; (p. 57-74) The author notes that McElroy's work is rarely considered in examinations of postcolonial travel writing, a result, he argues, of the ambivalence of postcolonial criticism towards African-American contexts. McElroy's recount of her experiences at Uluru and her potential identification with Indigenous Australians provides the article's title quoatation. As Youngs points out, however, simple identification based on skin colour is complicated by 'linguistic and cultural differences', leading to 'a more nuanced empathy.'
