Australian indigenous literature in the Miles Franklin Literary Award
Australian indigenous literature in Miles Franklin Literary Award demonstrates the indigenous resis-tance against colonialism and racism through an exploration of racial relations.Centering on such themes as land,language,identity,and trauma,the indigenous authors express their journeys of discovery and political appeals from their family histories.Land endows the indigenous with a sense of belonging,while language carries their cultures,constructs their subject identities.The indigenous achieve the construction of their subject identities through safeguarding their rights of land and revitalizing their indigenous languages to heal the racial traumas.With the supernatural narrative,the indigenous literature fuses the physical reality with the Maban reality,endowing the land and all things on the land with human character.While reflecting the deep consanguinity between the indigenous and the land and animism,it displays its resistance and deconstruction of the prevailing narratives,and becomes an important component for the indigenous to strive for their rights.
