Such cultures are steadily losing their ontological moorings under bipartite forces of oppression instituted by agencies of global-consumer-capitalism and the local governing bodies of the nation-state, which more often than not work in tandem with the transnational forces. In the light of these issues, my paper first locates the works of the Australian poet-activist, Oodgeroo Noonuccal within a broader framework of resistance literature against ' . Finally, the paper interrogates how Oodgeroo attempts to integrate the polarities of global and local in her writings not only by charting a visionary blueprint for a glocal (global + local) society, but also by proposing a more inclusive rhetoric of 'new internationalism' beyond cultural essentialism and through the dilution of binaries as ideological formations of knowledge production generated by the 'West' to define the 'Rest'.
