    Summary note
    "As the field of indigenous literature has expanded, indigenous writers and theorists have been formulating new protocols for reading indigenous literature in cross-racial contexts. In order to participate in this paradigm shift, non-indigenous theorists and critics have been engaging with the scholarly work of indigenous commentators and the methodological principles and ethics which they articulate. The idea for this book -- a collection of critical essays surveying the work of a range of Aboriginal writers, accompanied by interviews with these writers -- issued from this ethical impulse. It emerged out of the wish to engage in converstion with the writers whose works I was reading, to test my ideas about the production and consumption of Aboriginal literature, and to ensure that those ideas developed within a cross-cultural dialogue. It is not always possible to do this in person, and by disseminating these conversations in written form I hope to facilitate a virtual continuation of this dialogue."-- Introduction, page xii.
