Summary
Departures of every kind have shaped Australian culture. Most obvious are the momentous departures of emigrants seeking new lives in a new land. But this evocative book proposes that the idea of departure spans much more than travel and migration. Tales of departure are often narratives of progress. They tell of groping towards something new, towards regeneration or reinvention. It may be Aboriginal people using poetry to forge pathways through trauma--or immigrant theatre bursting upon mainstream consciousness with Wogs Out of Work. This collection of essays investigates how Australia reinvents itself. Contributions run the full gamut--from poetry, drama and film to social and political debate
