Heiss, A: Dhuuluu-Yala to Talk Straight

Dhuuluu-Yala is a refreshing and long-awaited summary of the publishing of Indigenous literature researched and written from an Indigenous Australian perspective. It contains a thoughtful analysis of what makes and forms the identity of the Indigenous authors, publishing and editing issues, the appeal and significance of Indigenous literature, a comparative look at Canadian First Nations' and Aotearoa peoples. Author Anita Heiss was the first Aboriginal student to graduate with a PhD through the University of Western Sydney.
