Description
Critical essay which uses Gerald Vizenor’s framework of “Indigenous Survivance” to describe Kwaymullina’s novels The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf (2012), The Disappearance of Ember Crow (2013), and The Foretelling of Georgie Spider (2015) as “a “teaching story” whose strength resides in its use of the apocalypse and the centralizing of Country as collective tactics of survivance and cultural brokering relevant to the experiences of living in a (post)colonial world."
