Outback Summer explores sometimes-edgy, small-town, indigenous-colonial cultural relationships, the strong bond of 'mateship' within 'gang' groups, and the coming-of-age transition from youth to adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraditional Custodian Iljiddimoor (Sacred Rock) Gerry Surha wrote: \"This book reflects so much content that I identify with as a First Nations' man growing up in my community and then venturing out into the big wide world. As a First Nations' man, this novel took me back to a poignant time in my personal history and ignited memories of past experiences that I had lived through as a boy growing up in the 70's. The emotional value of reading 'Outback Summer' for me was very high because it acknowledges and highlights the ignorance of a white Australia that existed in the 1970's and still today continues to fail to recognise and comprehend the struggle of First Nations peoples-our plea for equality in our own country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the Lens, Literary Analysis of the Novel Outback Summer is a response to questions I have received from readers about the symbolism and themes in \"Outback Summer\" and their significance. At nearly a third of the size of the original novel, this 27,000-word analysis addresses those questions, while at the same time embodying my love of critical analytical studies and my desire to share my thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coenraads Gems Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47594423550103,"sku":"9781923330061","price":885.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781923330061.webp?v=1774985965","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/under-the-lens-literary-analysis-of-the-novel-outback-summer-9781923330061","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
