Using the region as an example, Carter digs deep, exploring and analyzing literature, art, oral history, and the historical record. The result is a pastiche of complex understanding that brings to life the Mallee area and presents it in the past, present, and future.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Australia's evocative Mallee region is rich with histories, impressions and geographical complexities. It is also a microcosm of a world in turmoil. Ground Truthing allows the Mallee to speak: to show its nurturing and renewable self. In searching for the creative principles that bring the Mallee into being, Carter digs, plots and weaves a poetic passage. A Wotjobaluk man, 'Jowley', the poet John Shaw Neilson and pastoralist William Stanbridge are among characters that give creative access to the region. Their voices mingle with those of vanished peoples and an ecological future crying out for renegotiation. Through this spatial history of the Mallee, we see that regions contain 'the region of regions' that is the creative key to the production and sustenance of all places. Paul Carter maps Victoria's Mallee region by exploring the visible and invisible aspects of place. Using the region as an example, Carter explores and analyses literature, art, oral history, the historical record as well as his own research. The result is a pastiche of complex understanding that brings to life the Mallee area. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
