(p. 105-121)In the poems of Judith Wright and the art of Canadian Emily Carr, both of them born of a colonialist people, Collett and Jones see a consciousness of aboriginal presence, recognising their 'struggle to articulate self (and nation) in relation to that presence - a presence that most of their generation chose either to ignore or repudiate.'Note: Contains illustrations of work by Carr and by Australian artist Margaret Preston.

Dymphna Cusack as a Precursor of Commonwealth Literature,
single work
criticism
(p. 122-135)Goodwin notes that in her novel The Sun in Exile (1955), Cusack deals with the general question of colonialism and anticipates virtually all the key issues in the decolonisation debate. He argues that 'a persuasive case may be made that...Dymphna Cusack was a prophet, precursor, early-warning system, even unacknowledged legislator of the many concerns of what later called itself postcolonial theory.'
