Book excerpt: Indigenous Transnationalism brings together eight essays by critics fromseven different countries, each analysing Alexis Wright's novel Carpentaria from a distinct nationalperspective. Taken together, these diverse voices highlight themes from thenovel that resonate across cultures and continents: the primacy of the land;the battles that indigenous peoples fight for their language, culture and sovereignty;a concern with the environment and the effects of pollution. At the same time,by comparing the Aboriginal experience to that of other indigenous peoples,they demonstrate the means by which a transnational approach can highlightresistance to, or subversion of, national prejudices.
