“This is a groundbreaking discussion of the representation of Aboriginal people in children’s literature. Importantly the book confirms Aboriginal agency through the deployment of indigenous cultural capital. The analysis of the circulation of cultural capital in Aboriginal writing is a significant and timely intervention into indigenous studies.”
—Bill Ashcroft FAHA, Professor, University of New South Wales

“In this persuasive, deeply researched study, Xu Daozhi demonstrates that Australian children’s books are powerfully invested in Aboriginal cultures. An impassioned call to see children’s books with fresh eyes, Indigenous Cultural Capital examines works by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal writers, investigating the ethics of representation and the issues associated with publication and reception.”
—Clare Bradford FAHA, Emeritus Professor, Deakin University
