While trauma became a tool whereby to create paths of empathy and reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians, it was also a manipulative strategy to deny the country’s shameful history. This book examines Gail Jones’s literary contribution to such debates. It examines Gail Jones’s questioning of Australia’s victimology narratives, and offers an insightful discussion of the transmedia, transnational and multidirectional approach to trauma in the reconciliation-related novels she published during John Howard’s vexed Liberal Government (1996-2007). 000163171 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess 000163171 773__ $$t 000163171 8560_ $$flplumed@unizar.es 000163171 8564_ $$s2343363$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/163171/files/BOOK-2025-455.pdf$$ySin acceso$$zSin acceso 000163171 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:163171$$pbooks 000163171 980__ $$aBOOK$$bMONOGRAFIAS$$b
