Uncanny Australia : sacredness and identity in a postcolonial nation

by Ken Gelder, Jane M. Jacobs

An exploration of how Aboriginal claims for sacredness have disrupted Australia's modern self-image. Examining cases such as Hindmarsh Island and Uluru, this study analyses how these claims make the familiar nation seem disconcertingly unfamiliar.
