Funded Activity Summary

Chinese Australian Writing on Indigenous Country. This project will produce the first major study of Chinese Australian writing about Indigenous people, culture and country from the 19th century to the present. Drawing on literary, historical, and cultural studies approaches, it will provide insights into the enduring Indigenous-Chinese relationships from Chinese perspectives. It will bring to light how Chinese immigrants engage with Indigenous issues to articulate a sense of belonging. It will provide a new account of the making of Chinese Australian identity, by exploring a distinctly Chinese position between Indigenous and settler sovereignties. It will enhance understanding of the role and responsibility that Chinese Australians have towards national reconciliation.
