摘要：In this article I position the Indigenous poet and performer, Romaine
Moreton, within the context of Australian Indigenous protest writing.1 I take
Moreton¡¯s poetry as exemplary of a tradition that has inscribed a trajectory
in Australian Indigenous literature through the achievements of writers such
as Oodgeroo, Jack Davis, Kevin Gilbert, Lionel Fogarty and Lisa Bellear.2 In
a discussion of Moreton¡¯s work, I examine how Indigenous protest writing
engages non-Indigenous audiences. I discuss forms of address in Moreton¡¯s
poetry and how the poetry interpellates non-Indigenous readers. Borrowing
from Michael Lipsky, I differentiate between the non-Indigenous ¡°target¡±
group of Indigenous protest (the body of policy-makers that formulates
governmental management, legislates in Indigenous affairs and produces a
discourse of pedagogical nationalism) and ¡°reference¡± publics (white liberals
who read and disseminate Indigenous literature).
