The David Unaipon Award: Shaping the literary and cultural history of Aboriginal writing in Australia

大卫·乌奈彭奖培育了丰富的原住民写作矿脉，是研究二十世纪和二十一世纪原住民文学的重要场所。该项目利用该奖项批判性地分析澳大利亚二百周年后的历史和政治背景下的土著写作和文化表达。到2014年，该奖项已经是第25个年头了。现在是时候回顾和探索原住民文学的既定经典。这一项目产生的书籍将为21世纪土著文学的阅读、审查、参与和教学树立一个历史上更广泛、更细致和对文化敏感的范例。

The David Unaipon Award has fostered a rich lode of Aboriginal writing and is a vital site for the study of Aboriginal literature in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This project uses the Award to critically analyse Aboriginal writing and cultural expression in the historical and political context of post-bicentenary Australia. In 2014 the award reaches its 25th year. Now is the time to review and explore the established canon of Aboriginal literature. The book produced from this project will model an historically broader, more nuanced and culturally sensitive paradigm for reading, reviewing, engaging with and teaching Aboriginal literature in the twenty-first century.
