" Land and Country is a decolonial tour de force by one of Australia's most respected Continental philosophers. Embarking on a painful autoethnography informed by the genocidal actions of her forebears, Genevieve Lloyd undertakes a reflexive interrogation of the collective imaginings and conceptual formations that structure how our colonial legacy is lived in present-day Australia. Into the dark history of the colonial dispossession of Indigenous Peoples, Land and Country shines an unwavering light to reveal conceptual genealogies of issues currently under contested political deliberation and public debate. The outcome is a powerful social critique of the present, laying bare the persistent recalcitrance of non-Indigenous Australia's refusal to engage with contemporary Indigenous demands for justice in the form of truth-telling, treaty and a representative voice within the postcolonial political system." -- Simone Bignall, author of Postcolonial Agency: Critique and Constructivism and Research Professor in Jumbunna Institute, University of Technology Sydney, Australia "Genevieve Lloyd has always been unafraid to tackle the big questions, from the relation between philosophy and gender to the environmental crisis. But this may be her most ambitious work yet, mixing an account of politics with philosophy and family history to intervene in the current social and political debates about Australian identity and aboriginal culture. Only a writer of supreme erudition and excellent technical skill could achieve this feat, and Lloyd has proven herself to be one such philosopher." -- Dimitris Vardoulakis, Professor of Philosophy, Western Sydney University, Australia "The first quarter of the twenty-first century has been riven by a weaponization of identity politics and its opponents.

Reflecting on the limits and injustices of the Western canon, Lloyd draws upon Indigenous conceptions of country , contemporary Australian debates surrounding identity and national sovereignty, the collectivist concept of the imagination in Spinoza, and critiques of her own work, to forge a generative and reparative project of identity. It is a mode of identity no longer grounded in mindset or character, but rather in a long history of imagining and responding to the complex forces of place, history and futurity that offer hope for life after colonization and planetary destruction." -- Claire Colebrook, Cecile Parrish Memorial Chair of English Literature, Monash University, Australia.
