Our Voices from the Heart by Patricia Anderson, Megan Davis

challenging informative inspiring reflective

4.25

 Simply put, this is a book that deserves to be read with words to listen to. Authored by co-chairs of the Uluru Dialogue, Our Voices From the Heart is told from an indigenous perspective discussing some of the key political journeys that directly impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia. It speaks to the foundation, the journey and the many voices that make up the Uluru Statment From the Heart, which in turn lead to the Voice Referendum. The physical book has been presented in a form that is accessible and makes an incredibly complex topic feel less daunting for readers. The audiobook has been narrated by the authors themselves.

Despite reviewing the book after the failed referendum vote, this book is still something that highlights important and valuable parts of political history, as well as shaping an understanding of the origin of the political journey that is still ongoing to gain respect, recognition and a say for First Nations people in Australia.
