NOTES: the focus of the work:
* Two cultures trying to live peacefully together, but failing to do so. Kim Scott shows well how good intentions are pushed aside once there is a conflict over farming land. But Scott’s novel, while it shows a tragic outcome is clearly an attempt to try and bring reconciliation through deeper understanding of the situation.
A key issue in That DeadMan Dance is the way Scott compares, beautifully the way that indigenous people relate constructively and sensitively to their natural environment, viewing it as sacred, whereas the European people see the land simply in destructively utilitarian terms. This is what Kim Scott emphasises.
