Featuring Meanjin, Overland
and Salt Publishing
Meanjin
#1/2001
Under Construction
We dream. Like posters over the wallpaper in rented houses, like gestures of kindness in the Centrelink office. We have reconstructed our cities …
Barbara Brooks
Cities remembered, reconstructed, reimagined are
traversed in this Meanjin. Subhash Jaireth returns to a Delhi navigated
with memories, maps and poetry. Chi Vu encounters competing stories, competing
identities, in contemporary Hanoi. Nikki Gemmell unravels a tale of thirst
and desire in the chaotic, dusty streets of Marrakesh.
Australias cities are revealed through the eyes
of immigrants alert to colonial substrates of settlement, expansion and
rebuilding; in the words of writers and architects who have found inspiration
in their iconic structures; and in the analysis of historians and social
theorists acknowledging Indigenous pasts and debating urban futures.
Also featured in this issue, Les Murray interviewed by John Kinsella.
Sadly this edition of Meanjinis the last to be edited by Stephanie Holt.
