Literary Mirroring challenges the structural opposition of rootedness and rootlessness through a historical and literary analysis of the connections between the ‘First and Last of the New Worlds’: the Caribbean and Australia. It explores literary and historical continuities between Australia and the Caribbean through the work of Caribbean writers such as Édouard Glissant, Wilson Harris, Sylvia Wynter, and Kamau Brathwaite, alongside Aboriginal writers like Alexis Wright, Ali Cobby Eckermann, and Lionel Fogarty. The author examines how these authors’ use of opacity and projection reimagines the inter-colonial other as a mirror image, a projection that presents readers with fresh perspectives of the movement to Indigenization in post-Independence Caribbean literature and inter-Indigenous encounters beyond the Australian nation in Aboriginal literature. By upending the simulated opposition of the Caribbean and Australia, this book offers radically new perspectives of the world generated by literary relation.
