Griffith Review Lecture: Islands of Identity
It is said no man (or woman) is an island, and humans are communal creatures. For Indigenous Australians, navigating between the mainland – or mainstream culture – and ‘islands’ of traditional culture can be trying, and may even exacerbate mental illness and violence. But how do we define the concept of community and find our place within it?
Join Melissa Lucashenko, award-winning novelist and contributor to Griffith REVIEW 34: The Annual Fiction Edition, in conversation with Paul Barclay for a discussion on native title, land rights and the importance of finding our own islands of home, country and space.
Speakers: Melissa Lucashenko and Paul Barclay
When: Mon 31 Oct 2011, 6:30 pm - 08:00 pm
