Short Black 12: Tradition, Truth & Tomorrow by Galarrwuy Yunupingu
5.0
A short essay in the guise of a novella, and one of the Black inc. Short Black series of beautiful Australian writing.
Have you ever wanted to just cut the crap and hear the story of the black fella, as he tells it. Cut the red tape and the media bullshit and just listen to an elder and his wisdom, his dream, his frustration?
Galarrwuy Yunupingu is now leader of his clan up in north-east Arnhem Land. He is learned, he has worked in Canberra, he has seen the years pass. I am so glad he wrote this, and so glad to have read a very accessible and frank statement of his life.
This is 20 minutes of your life worth spending.
