Jill Ker Conway is an excellent, focused, academic writer, now President of Smith College in USA. She grew up in the orange dust of the Australia bush with no children as playmates, yet remembers a wonderful childhood with an especial concern for her mother's life. She writes this book as a successful adult, reconstructing the steps that got her through the University of Sydney's very demanding late-1950's history department. At that time, university studies were open to women, but the focus was on males, both living and dead white men. It was British colonial history that was taught, and most educated people picked up an inferiority complex about being Australian. Near the end of the book she writes about how she shook herself loose of this view, became proud and fond of the outback, and finally accepted that she was a city person. NEar the end she lands a history-teaching position at the U. of Sydney while enrolled in a Master's level program there, and it all closes tantalyzingly with a successful bid for a position at Harvard in USA. I've noticed often as a tourguide that British, Canadian and Australian women on my buses are very well-read and discuss books as a matter of fact, as something that one should know. They speak in a crisp and exact way with reasoned opinions. This writer falls in that category, well at the forefront of course. She knows herself, her own mind, and knows injustice and sexism when she experiences it herself. Her widening eyes begin to grasp that Europeans have simply grabbed the land of the aborigines. As a historian, she starts to want to know their view. To me, as an American, it is a slippery slope. There is only one logical conclusion: that all the land should be given back. Since this cannot be done, and Asians are beginning to flood into Australia as well since the 1960's, then the best strategy of the whites, if guilt they do feel over this landgrab, is to donate of their own accord time, help, money, food, clothing or training to their own poor. Academics around the world are concerned with the rights of "native peoples", but to turn back the clock is impossible. The interlopers are here. I greatly look forward to hie'ing my white yet hairy flesh over to the library and looking for the sequel to her life story and changing views. May she come to some peace about her ancestors' plopping down on the abo's!
This highly lauded memoir left me slightly disappointed. While the author's life is interesting enough, and her willingness to share it allows us all the experience of childhood in the Australian bush, what begins as an engrossing descriptive narrative eventually ends as an engrossing descriptive narrative with an agenda. The author's explanation for her unexpected rejection from the Australian Foreign Service is that of simple sex discrimination. This superficial politicking seems inappropriate for a narrative that had, up to this point, presented each respective situation with subtle wit and razor sharp, substantive social insight. Innocence lost, perhaps? Or maybe scapegoating? She admits that the two male classmates selected in her stead were more than qualified candidates, each with well defined intellectual and professional goals. She even tells us that her own professional goals were all too nebulous, and that she had come to discover that a career in academics may not be at all inappropriate. Yet the episode with the Foreign Service serves as a platform for the introduction of petty feminism into an otherwise sparkling text. Its as if she's saying, "I'm perfect. Unfortunately, I'm a woman." As I read from that point forward I felt that twinge of feminist exclusivity which seemed to alienate me from her experiences because I'm a man. That's too bad, because all people (men and women) understand and experience feelings of loss, rejection, and achievement. Its part of being human, appropriately independent of gender.
I read Road from Coorain the year it was published. Actually, I'm certain I read it twice. I loved the sense of adventure and courage Ms. Conway displayed. I loved her use of language to bring alive the country of Australia. The book has remained close to my mind and heart over the years. I have suggested that the book club I chair read this book for February. Although the genre of our club is fiction, I assured my fellow friends and readers that this will "read" as interestingly and excitingly as a piece of fiction. I would be interested in anyone who has discussed this book in their club to share some of the topics of conversation generated. My e-mail address is Bonnie@Foley.com or Foley1516@aol.com. Thank you for any suggestions you might give me.
From the very first page Conway pulls you into her life's journey, starting out with her lonely childhood in Australia's outback of Coorain, through the teen years in Sydney and into her young adult university years.It is most fascinating to follow Conway's psychological evolution as a university student. An independent thinker, Conway begins to question the status quo colonial view of her countrymen who at that time regarded themselves as British. Her growing awareness of sexual and racial discrimination, expressed in such earnest tones, renders a timeless quality to this all engaging memoir
This book delivers a fascinating account of a fragile ecosystem and an equally fragile human society dependent on it. Jill Ker's coming of age is put into a societal and ecological context, which stimulates my curiosity about Australia and her other works. Her outside look at the "colonial mentality" resonates with my own immigrant's view of the cultures where I have lived, and raises interesting societal questions applicable not only to Australia. "The Road from Coorain" is a fast read despite longer descriptive passages, and I highly recommend it.
