In particular, it examines how Aboriginal and settler narratives of walking have shaped portrayals of Australia's Red Centre and consequently ideas of nation and belonging. Central Australia has long been characterised as a frontier, the supposed divide between black and white, ancient and modern. But persistently representing it in this way is preventing Australians from re-imagining this internationally significant region as home. Writing Home argues that the frontier no longer adequately describes Central Australia, and that the Aboriginal songlines make a significant but under-acknowledged contribution to Australian discourses of hybridity, belonging and home. Drawing on anthropology, cultural theory, journalism, politics and philosophy, the book traces shifting perceptions of Australian place and space since precolonial times, through six recounted walking journeys of the Red Centre. 606 $aLiterature and society$zAustralia$zCentral Australia 606 $aBelonging (Social psychology)$zAustralia$zCentral Australia 606 $aAboriginal Australians$zAustralia$zCentral Australia$xSocial life and customs 607 $aCentral Australia$xDiscovery and exploration 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aBelonging (Social psychology) 615 0$aAboriginal Australians$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a809.809915 700 $aMorrison$b Glenn.$01578150 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793476303321 996 $aWriting home$93857310 997 $aUNINA
