![]() ![]() This groundbreaking anthology aims to enlighten, inspire and educate about the lives of Aboriginal people in Australia today.Ĭontributors include: Tony Birch, Deborah Cheetham, Adam Goodes, Terri Janke, Patrick Johnson, Ambelin Kwaymullina, Jack Latimore, Celeste Liddle, Amy McQuire, Kerry Reed-Gilbert, Miranda Tapsell, Jared Thomas, Aileen Walsh, Alexis West, Tara June Winch, and many, many more. All of them speak to the heart – sometimes calling for empathy, oftentimes challenging stereotypes, always demanding respect. ![]() Each account reveals, to some degree, the impacts of invasion and colonisation – on language, on country, on ways of life, and on how people are treated daily in the community, the education system, the workplace and friendship groups.Īccounts from well-known authors and high-profile identities sit alongside newly discovered voices of all ages, with experiences spanning coastal and desert regions, cities and remote communities. Straight after, people came up, non-Aboriginal people, and shook my hand and said it was a great speech and we wanted to hear more. What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia? This anthology, compiled by award-winning author Anita Heiss, attempts to showcase as many diverse voices, experiences and stories as possible in order to answer that question. ![]()
