This All Come Back Now by Mykaela Saunders (Editor) 2022
The first-ever anthology of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speculative fiction - written, curated, edited and designed by blackfellas, for blackfellas and about blackfellas. Centering and celebrating communities and culture, the book is a love letter to kin and country, to memory and future-thinking.
Fire Front by Alison Whittaker (Editor) 2020
Showcasing many respected First Nations poets from this continent this anthology is a testament to the renaissance of First Nations poetry happening in Australia right now. Divided into five thematic sections, each with an introductory essay from a leading Aboriginal writer and thinker who reflect on the power of First Nations poetry in their inimitable way.
Another Day in the Colony by Chelsea Watego 2021
A powerful, deeply insightful work that exposes the ongoing colonial violence and daily racism experienced by First Nations people. Positing a strategy for living in a society that has only ever imagined Indigenous peoples as destined to die out, Watego speaks not of fighting back, but of standing her ground against colonialism in academia, in court and in the media, and championing sovereignty.
Benevolence by Julie Janson 2020
Benevolence is told from the perspective of Darug woman, Muraging (Mary James), born around 1813 and presents, perhaps for the first time in novel form, the experience of the impact of British colonisation from an Aboriginal perspective.
Black and Blue by Veronica Gorrie, 2021
An award-winning non-fiction work that tells the story of an Aboriginal woman who worked as a police officer and fought for justice both within and beyond the Australian police force.
Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray by Anita Heiss 2021
Set on timeless Wiradyuri country, where the life-giving waters of the rivers can make or break dreams, based on devastating true events, this highly awarded novel is an epic story of love, loss and belonging.
Telling: Stories of Resistance from Nairm Marr Djambana by Sina Summers, Nairm Marr Djambana 2023
The 12 short life stories in Telling are grounded in First Nations storytelling traditions and reveal the diverse and complex nature of the experience of living in the wake of colonialisation.
