Another Day in the Colony by Chelsea Watego

dark emotional informative medium-paced

5.0

Chelsea Watego is a Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman born and raised on Yuggera Country. I read this book on Kaurna Country and Karta Pintingga. Chelsea Watego shares 6 powerful essays on her experiences as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander woman. Some of the essays speak of her growing up, her work as an Aboriginal health worker and as an academic, and ways she’s been pushed back. But overall, she shows the power that is held within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples every day for living in lands that us colonisers have stolen. If you want a powerful read - this is a must!
