The autobiographical writings of Della Walker, Sally Morgan, Nugi Garimara analyzed below contribute to forming and informing the concept of "aboriginal dissemi-nation" (Bhabha), that is a complex and multiform political, social and cultural entity, which narrates and which it is told from the margins where two hundred years of white domination have relegated it. It is a native and self-reflective voice that offers an unprecedented look at the concepts of "citizenship", "nation", "national literature".Downloads
