Cultural Interfaces is a collection of twenty
papers by international as well as young
research scholars engaged in Australian Studies
in India. These were presented at the First
International Conference of the Indian
Association for the Study of Australia (IASA).
With contributions from Bruce Bennett, Jennifer
Strauss, Dennis Haskell, Satendra Nandan, David
Kimber, Fran Siemensma, Parimal Roy and Marianne
Robinson, Y. Yagama Reddy and Quentin-Stevenson
Perks amongst many others, this volume reflects
a dynamic engagement of ideas, both from a
literary and a socio-political perspective, in
the areas of history, culture, art, trade and
education.
The interfaces these essays provide, the
interdisciplinary ethos they promote, are a
much-needed new dimension to the study of
Australian culture, society and polity in India.
The present collection is set to meet precisely
that objective. |
