19.01.2022 Continuing our showcase of Aboriginal books for NAIDOC week, i thought i would focus on adult books ’Return to Uluru’ by Mark McKenn brings a cold case to life. It speaks directly to the Black Lives Matter movement, but is completely Australian. Recalling Chloe Hooper's The Tall Man, it is superbly written, moving, and full of astonishing, unexpected twists. Ultimately it is a story of recognition and return, which goes to the very heart of the country. At the centre of it ...all is Uluru, the sacred site where paths fatefully converged. ’Black Swan’. By Eileen Harrison. A frank and powerful memoir of the life of an Aboriginal woman, from her early years on the Lake Tyers mission to discovery of her talent as a painter. Eileen Harrison grew up at the Lake Tyers Aboriginal Mission Station in the 1950s as one of eleven children in a tight-knit and loving family. When the new assimilation policy comes in, they are wrenched from the Mission and sent off to Ararat in the hope that they will become part of that community. Unable to build a stable life in the face of isolation and discrimination, the family is torn apart. Eileen must become the protector and the peacemaker. ’Sand Talk’ by Tyson Yunkaporta. This remarkable award winning book is about everything from echidnas to evolution, cosmology to cooking, sex and science and spirits to Schrödinger’s cat. Tyson Yunkaporta looks at global systems from an Indigenous perspective. He asks how contemporary life diverges from the pattern of creation. How does this affect us? How can we do things differently? ’Black and Blue’ by Veronica Gorrie. The story of an Aboriginal woman who worked as a police officer and fought for justice both within and beyond the Australian police force. A proud Gunai/Kurnai woman, Veronica Gorrie grew up dauntless, full of cheek and a fierce sense of justice. After watching her friends and family suffer under a deeply compromised law-enforcement system, Gorrie signed up for training to become one of a rare few Aboriginal police officers in Australia. In her ten years in the force, she witnessed appalling institutional racism and sexism, and fought past those things to provide courageous and compassionate service to civilians in need, many Aboriginal themselves. ’Carpentaria’ is Alexis Wright's second novel, an epic set in the Gulf country of north-western Queensland. The novel's portrait of life in the precariously settled coastal town of Desperance centres on the powerful Phantom family, leader of the Westend Pricklebush people, and its battles with old Joseph Midnight's renegade Eastend mob on the one hand, and the white officials of Uptown and the neighbouring Gurfurrit mine on the other. Five amazing reads from five talented authors. #NAIDOC2021 #NAIDOCWeek2021 #aboriginalculture #IndigenousBooks #aboriginal

10.01.2022 Another great selection of new release books from the July Bookseller’s Choice Newsletter. We just loved these two children’s and young adult books which are arrived during NAIDOC week. ’Story Foctors’ by legendary storyteller Boori Monty Pryor invites us to travel with him from the first footsteps through 80,000 years of strength, sickness,and immense possibility. from the very first stories and art, to dance, language and connections to the land. An exquisitely illustrat...ed celebration of the power of storytelling to unite us. ’The Story of Australia’ by Don Watson weaves together the many strands of our nation’s past -ancient and indigenous, colonal and contemporary - to create a facinating, inclusive history for all readers in clear succinct language that both children and adults will appreciate.
