Until very recently a marginalised voice in Australian literary studies, Australian Indigenous poetry has obtained an important role in the articulation of Indigenous peoples' political thought, successfully performing both educative and healing function. Constituting an indictment of white Australian racism, a recuperation of neglected Aboriginal history, and a call for change, Indigenous authors have become involved in the production that used to be reserved as the exclusive domain of Europeans. Based on the premise that literature can play an important role both in maintaining and disrupting the exercise of power, and written against the backdrop of critical whiteness studies, the article focuses on Leane's collection Dark Secrets (2010). It investigates how the poet uses her medium to explore various aspects of indigeneity and intervene in the public dynamics of racial separation. More specifically, it shows that, by challenging the ongoing reproduction of whiteness as a static privilege-granting category and system of dominance, and affirming Indigenous Australians' authentic rather than an imposed cultural personality, Leane's poetry performs personal and collective empowerment of Australian Indigenous peoples and represents an important site for the renegotiation of an inter-racial relationshipPrispevek obravnava sodobno avstralsko staroselsko poezijo in še posebej pesniško zbirko Temne skrivnosti Jeanine Leane. Z razcvetom sredi osemdesetih let 20. stoletja je avstralska staroselska poezija postala pomemben medij za artikulacijo kritičnih misli staroselcev. Z edukativno in zdravilno vlogo, ki jo opravlja s poseganjem v navidezno neukinljiva binarna nasprotja avtoritativnega diskurza, predstavitvijo zamolčane avstralske zgodovine in zahtevo po spremembah, je ta poezija postala del produkcije, ki je bila do nedavnega v izključni domeni Evropejcev. Z izhodiščem v kritiški misli o pomembni družbeni vlogi književnih besedil in opirajoč se na kritiko koncepta evropocentrizma, pričujoči članek raziskuje, kako Leane s problematizacijo stereotipov kot glavne strategije kolonialnega diskurza intervenira v javno dinamiko rasne separacije in destabilizira domneve o legitimnosti reprodukcije kolonialnih razlik. Končna ugotovitev je, da njen pesniški svet opravlja osebno in kolektivno opolnomočenje avstralskih staroselcev in ustvarja pogoje za boljšo kvaliteto medrasnih odnosovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
