True Tracks by Terri Janke

informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

Janke's work has been foundational in changing government and corporate approaches to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures over the last two decades. True Tracks - the title representing Janke's approach about laying pathways rather than implying complete solutions - documents much of that work as well as providing a handy guidance for engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural property. With topics as diverse as fire management, the flag, language material and art, this is a book that should sit on pretty much everyone's shelf. While the material is referenceable - and chapters designed to be readable in isolation, with relevant material cross-referenced from other chapters, Janke puts herself into the narrative in a way that makes the book very readable as a volume as well.
