MUDROOROO (1938–2019)
herausgegeben von Gasteditor Gerhard Fischer mit Beiträgen von Stephen Muecke, Paul Spickard, Laura Singeot, Lorenzo Perrona, Tom Thompson, und Gerhard Fischer
»Mudrooroo, who died in 2019 at the age of 80 in a Brisbane hospice after a protracted battle with cancer, was Australia’s most highly regarded and at the same time most controversial Black writer. The controversy – that has all but overshadowed his prolific literary output – does not concern the quality of his artistic achievements: his merits as a renowned novelist, poet, playwright, and literary and cultural theorist are internationally recognized and beyond doubt. Opinions are divided, however, on the question of his claim to Aboriginal identity.«
