Review :
'The sixteen essays ... demonstrate interdisciplinary study at its best.' - Times Literary Supplement 'As its subtitle implies, this important collection pf essays embarks on a comparative exercise, namely to bring questions of Australian and South African literature and history into a comparative dialogue. Such a comparative undertaking has seldom been attempted before. By opening up the possibility for such 'interlocking conversations' this book is a pioneer in what should become an important and burgeoning field of research.' - SOAS Bulletin, Vol. 61, No. 2, 1998 'Here is a genuinely provocative and courageous analysis...' - Nations and Nationalism ' ... rich in detail and diversity and highly informative.' - Ecumene 'an enormously pleasurable and rewarding collection of essays' - Interventions
