Hickling-Hudson is concerned with the continuation of Euro-centric and racist stereotypes of Black-White relations in the media.
This essay indicates that in both Walkabout and Bitter Springs focus "on the story of the whites, who react to the Aboriginal people as incidents in their lives." The author believes this approach is not overtly racist like earlier texts, but still does not treat the Black story as equal to the White.
In Walkabout: "It is the white girl and boy who remain the subjects of this film." |
| Synopsis |
