The acute sense of alienation that colonization initially provoked in the colonized and colonizing populations of Australia and New Zealand has, recent studies indicate, developed into an endemic, existential pathology. Evidence of the psychological fallout from the trauma of geographical deracination, cultural disorientation and ontological destabilization can be found not only in the state of anomie and self-destructive patterns of behaviour that now characterize the lives of indigenous Australian and Maori peoples, but also in the perpetually faltering identity-discourse and cultural rootlessness of the present descendants of the countries? Anglo-Celtic settlers. It is with the literary expression of this persistent condition of alienation that the essays gathered in the present volume are concerned. Covering a heterogeneous selection of contemporary Australasian literature, what these critical studies convincingly demonstrate is that, more than two hundred years after the process of colonisation was set in motion, the experience that Germaine Greer has dubbed 'the pain of unbelonging' continues unabated, constituting a dominant thematic concern in the writing produced today by Australian and New Zealand authors. 410 0$aCross/cultures ;$v91. 606 $aAlienation (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature 606 $aAustralasian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAustralian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aNew Zealand literature$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAlienation (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aAlienation (Social psychology) in literature. 615 0$aAustralasian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAustralian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aNew Zealand literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a325.39 701 $aCollingwood-Whittick$b Sheila$0877255 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451584103321 996 $aThe pain of unbelonging$91958804 997 $aUNINA
