Anna Rutherford

Anna Rutherford (27 November 1932 – 21 February 2001) was an Australian-born academic and publisher, who helped to establish the field of post-colonial literature in Europe.[1]

Biography edit

Rutherford was born in Australia in Mayfield, Newcastle, New South Wales.[2]

From 1968 to 1996 she was Director of the Commonwealth Literature Centre at the University of Aarhus, Denmark, where she introduced African and West Indian courses, organising in 1971 the first European conference on the British Commonwealth novel.[2]

In 1979, she founded Kunapipi: Journal of Postcolonial Writing & Culture and was its editor until her death.[3] The name derives from kunapipi, a mother goddess in Aboriginal Australian mythology.[4]

Rutherford also founded and was director of the small publishing company Dangaroo Press.[5]

In 1996 an edited collection, A talent(ed) digger, was published in Rutherford's memory.[6]
