These were presented at the First International Conference of the Indian Association for the Study of Australia (IASA). With contributions from Bruce Bennett, Jennifer Strauss, Dennis Haskell, Satendra Nandan, David Kimber, Fran Siemensma, Parimal Roy and Marianne Robinson, Y. Yagama Reddy and Quentin-Stevenson Perks amongst many others, this volume reflects a dynamic engagement of ideas, both from a literary and a socio-political perspective, in the areas of history, culture, art, trade and education. The interfaces these essays provide, the interdisciplinary ethos they promote, are a much-needed new dimension to the study of Australian culture, society and polity in India. The present collection is set to meet precisely that objective.ContentsCrossing CulturesBRUCE BENNETTVoice of AustraliaANJALI GERA ROYRe-imagining the Australian Nation-SpaceSANTOSH SAREEN & SUSAN THOMASRed ochre in the MoonlightANITA BALAKRISHNANThe Mythical, Mystical BushDENNIS HASKELL(RE) Constructing AboriginalityDIVYA ANANDA Re - Vision of Australian Culture inS.USHA KALYANIAbsences, Silences and Dreams in V.PADMAThe Australian GhazalANISUR RAHMANIsland as metaphor in A.D.
