Hi there fellow rappers,
Sorry for arriving so late in the rap but I have only just
come back from Sweden (very hot and definitely lots of
rabbits).
My name is Bob Percival and I work in the Aboriginal Studies
Team of the Education Department. The
rabbits, is one of my favourite books not only for its incredible illustrations
but also for the powerful messages that are being sent in the text.
Some people see the book as an allegory of the experience of
Aboriginal people in the years of occupation by European settlement. This may
or may not be the case but for me there seems a strong link in the story being
told.
If any of you rappers would like to discuss this possible
meaning of the text please send a message to myself or the team and we would be
only too happy to discuss the comparisons.
Great to say hello, and hope to hear from you soon,
cheers
Bob
