Quatrième de couverture

The contributors to this volume repeatedly point to the pain endured by those who hâve been « Othered » and pay careful attention to the achievements of Aboriginal Australians and other « Others », who have started to express themselves and to take control of their représentation in order to heal from traumatizing expériences. They denounce the process of « Othering » and stereotyping and put the spotlight on the various attempts at subverting damaging négative stereotypes. They reveal the « dark side » of the colonial governance strategy of conciliation and study post-colonial rewritings of other colonial gestures such as discovery and conquest. To a certain extent, following Romaine Moreton's advice, they attempt to « reframe those négative expériences ».
