Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 224 pages. Joseph's coat is a collection of multicultural writing from Australians of non-English-speaking backgrounds and, as such, reflects the changing nature of Australian culture. The story of Joseph is not only a tale of loss and exile - it is also an account of hope, courage, reconciliation and survival. The writers included in the collection have succeeded in communicating their art despite language barriers and cultural differences. The editor has illustrated some of the difficulties facing the immigrants and exiles who have settled in Australia: problems of communication, assimilation and dispossession. Also included are Aboriginal poets and storytellers whose own backgrounds and cultures have been as fragmented and abused as those of the new settlers. (SL#212).
