letter-spacing:-.1pt">The story of the vulnerable white person vanishing without trace into the harsh Australian landscape is a potent and compelling element in multiple genres of mainstream
Australian culture. It has been sung in “Little Boy Lost,” brought to life on the big screen in
<i>Picnic at Hanging Rock</i>, immortalized in Henry Lawson’s poems of lost tramps, and preserved in the history books’ tales of Leichhardt or Burke and Wills wandering in mad circles.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

of Australian disappearance mythology, exposing the political utility at its core. Drawing on wide-ranging examples of the white-vanishing myth, the book provides evidence that disappearance mythology encapsulates some of the most dominant and durable categories
at the heart of white Australian culture, and that many of those ideas have their origin in colonial mechanisms of inequality and oppression.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
