## Kurzeinführung

Neben Schriftstellern europäischer Herkunft, insbesondere anglo-australischen Schriftstellern, haben sich zahlreiche australische Ureinwohner (Aborigines) durch ihre Beiträge zur australischen Literatur und zum Journalismus einen Namen gemacht. Die Literatur umfasst ein breites Spektrum von Belletristik und Sachbüchern: sie umfasst Theaterstücke, Briefe, Essays und andere Werke. Ein frühes Beispiel ist Bennelongs Brief.

Einen umfassenden Einblick in die Kultur und Erfahrung liefern neuerdings breit angelegte anthologische Werke wie die für die alphabetische Übersicht schwerpunktmäßig mit herangezogenen Macquarie PEN Anthology of Aboriginal Literature und Macquarie PEN Anthology of Aboriginal Literature mit einer Sammlung von Werken einiger der größten australischen Schriftsteller, worin ein reichhaltiges Panorama von über zweihundert Jahren Kultur, Geschichte und Leben geboten werden.

Wichtige literarische Werke stammen beispielsweise von Autoren wie Bennelong, William Barak, David Unaipon, Pearl Gibbs, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Charles Perkins, Jack Davis, Kevin Gilbert, Lionel Fogarty, Ruby Langford Ginibi, Bob Randall, Jimmy Chi, Patrick Dodson, Marcia Langton, Jackie Huggins, Lisa Bellear, Alexis Wright, Kim Scott, Noel Pearson, Larissa Behrendt, Tony Birch, Tara June Winch und vielen anderen.

Auf die Zerstörung der Kultur der Aborigines begann ab 1970 z. B. der serbisch-australische Schriftsteller B. Wongar aufmerksam zu machen (Atom-Trilogie).

Die folgende alphabetische Übersicht erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Aktualität oder Vollständigkeit. Angegeben werden Personennamen (soweit bekannt), Lebensdaten und repräsentative Werke (in Auswahl):
