‘Never the submissive prey of settler colonialism’: Alison Whittaker, Nicole Watson, ‘First Nations Women: Law, Power, Story’, Australian Feminist Law Journal, 2021

31Jan21

Excerpt: For the greater part of our shared history, the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women were absent from scholarship as understood by the Australian colony. Those who wrote about our grandmothers, mothers and aunties viewed them through broken lenses that reflected only the pall of stereotypes. Black women were represented through various stereotypes that included the licentious jezebel and the docile servant. Yet Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have never been the submissive prey of settler colonialism. Resistance has been manifest in diplomacy, litigation, refusal, the withholding of labour, activism and writing. It is within the latter tradition that this special issue of the Australian Feminist Law Journal falls.
