Last stop before Antarctica : the bible and postcolonialism in Australia  
Roland Boer
Published by Sheffield Academic Press (2001)

Book description

 Roland Boer seeks a presence for the Bible in postcolonial criticism through a series of forays, casting a sharp eye over questions such as globalization, exploitation, exodus, exile, home, identity, essentialism, translation and opposition. The book covers theoretical literature on post colonialism, the Bible, explorer journals, hybrid fiction and indigenous language, all with a focus on Australia. It closes by reflecting on the strange dialectic whereby the Bible itself has a distinct role in the production of post colonialism.
