Klappentext zu „Ancestral Narratives “
Genealogy and family history have experienced anunprecedented boom in the past few decades which has produced ademocratic kind of \"genealogy from below\". However, littlecritical attention has been paid to this phenomenon. This bookexplores how ancestral connections are narrated in both history andfiction written by Irish-Australian authors Thomas Keneally andChristopher Koch. It argues that ancestry allows people toimaginatively inhabit the historical period their ancestor livedin, but more importantly, to identify with their ancestor(s).Keneally focuses on the development of national identity throughancestry, while Koch is more concerned with the inheritance ofparticular constructions of masculinity. Ultimately, this?ancestral identification? can support a transformation of identityand an interrogation of dominant or destructive modes ofidentification.
