dc.description.abstractThis dissertation presents a historical and cultural study of Aboriginal Australia through the literary analysis of the novels My Place (1987) by Sally Morgan and The Fatal Shore (1986) by Robert Hughes. The use of a postcolonial methodology in analysing the literary works gives new meaning to the texts as the historical context of British colonialism is acknowledged. The methodology also highlights the existence of colonial discourse in literature. A comparative and contrastive analysis for the representation of Aboriginal Australians in both novels shows there is no fixed form of identity or portrayal. A historical and cultural study of Aboriginal Australia, thus, demonstrates the importance of Aboriginal Australians because of their role in shaping the history and culture of Australia, as we know it today.en
