- Abstract: Kate Grenville's The Secret River (2005) is a moving account of the disturbing colonial development of Australia. In historical terms, it dramatizes the transformation of the white settler's dream into the worst of all possible nightmares, and brings to the fore the darker side of Australia's past. This article will show how the novel defamiliarizes some of the most important myths of the Australian nation. It will also rely on the ideas put forward by some outstanding ethics and trauma theorists and postcolonial critics in order to analyse The Secret River as a further example of a recurrent phenomenon in contemporary Australian literature, namely, the attempt to spell out the trauma and anxieties of (un) belonging that haunt settler culture as a result of the belated and painful revelation of Aboriginal dispossession and genocide. This article will therefore show that Grenville's novel testifies to the desperate attempt on the part of some non-Indigenous Australians to offer an apology to the Aborigines so that the much longed-for national Reconciliation may some day be possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: The Secret River (2005), la novela de Kate Grenville, es un relato conmovedor de la inquietante colonización de Australia. En términos históricos, relata la transformación del sueño del colono blanco en la peor de todas las pesadillas posibles y saca a la luz el lado más oscuro del pasado australiano. Este artículo mostrará cómo la novela utiliza y cuestiona algunos de los mitos más importantes de la nación australiana y se basará en las ideas propuestas por algunos destacados críticos postcoloniales y teóricos de la crítica ética y el trauma para analizar The Secret River como otro ejemplo más de un fenómeno muy frecuente en la literatura australiana contemporánea: el intento de articular el trauma y la ansiedad de la no pertenencia que perturba a la cultura blanca, como resultado de la tardía y dolorosa revelación del genocidio aborigen. Por último, analizará el intento desesperado por parte de algunos australianos no-indígenas de ofrecer una disculpa a los australianos aborígenes para que la tan deseada reconciliación nacional sea posible algún día.
