Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Jeannie Gunn's 'The Little Black Princess: A True Tale of Life in the Never-Never Land' is a captivating narrative that delves into the relationship between a European woman and an Indigenous Australian girl in the remote Australian outback. Gunn's literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions of the harsh yet beautiful landscape, as well as sensitive portrayals of the cultural clashes and misunderstandings that occur in this setting. The book is a significant contribution to Australian literature, offering readers a glimpse into the complexities of race relations and colonialism during the early 20th century. Jeannie Gunn, also known as 'Mrs. Aeneas Gunn,' was a pioneering author who drew inspiration from her own experiences living in the Australian outback. Her firsthand knowledge of the challenges and triumphs of life in the bush shines through in this novel, making it a powerful and authentic portrayal of a bygone era. I highly recommend 'The Little Black Princess' to readers interested in Australian literature, colonial history, and cross-cultural relationships. Gunn's thoughtful exploration of identity, belonging, and empathy makes this book a compelling and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in issues of diversity and inclusion.

Intersectional Encounters in the Nineteenth-Century Archive
Author: Rachel Bryant Davies
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350200360
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Rachel Bryant Davies and Erin Johnson-Williams lead a cast of renowned scholars to initiate an interdisciplinary conversation about the mechanisms of power that have shaped the nineteenth-century archive, to ask: What is a nineteenth-century archive, broadly defined? This landmark collection of essays will broach critical and topical questions about how the complex discourses of power involved in constructions of the nineteenth-century archive have impacted, and continue to impact, constructions of knowledge across disciplinary boundaries, and beyond academic confines. The essays, written from a range of disciplinary perspectives, grapple with urgent problems of how to deal with potentially sensitive nineteenth-century archival items, both within academic scholarship and in present-day public-facing institutions, which often reflect erotic, colonial and imperial, racist, sexist, violent, or elitist ideologies. Each contribution grapples with these questions from a range of perspectives: Musicology, Classics, English, History, Visual Culture, and Museums and Archives. The result is far-reaching historical excavation of archival experiences.
