Literature

Colonized Australia presents a very grim picture of Aboriginal people in general. They are in a minority in their own land and many Aboriginal trib es and languages in fact, became extinct. Land, sacred to Aboriginals, has been lost to the c olonizers. It is only the Aboriginal consciousness that keeps them united in this predic ament in spite of their differences in language, culture, colour, region and religion. It is also this unity that makes them fight, at times with a martial spirit, against discrimination and m otivates them to assert their Aboriginal identity. In the past few decades Australia has pro duced a considerable amount of Aboriginal Literature reflecting Aboriginal struggle economic freedom, legal recognition and reforms for basic living conditions. Mudrooroo, Jack Davis, Ale xis Wright, Kim Scott, and other Aboriginal Writers represent these issues through different li terary genres of poetry, fiction and drama. In this paper I try to explain how Aboriginal form can be identified and how functions of Aboriginality can be recognized in the writings of Mudrooroo and Jack Davis writings that belong to the early phase of Aboriginal period.
