Adam Thompson has written a really great and powerful collection of short stories dealing with politics and racism that Aboriginals deal with daily in their lives.
A couple of stories are hard to read and made me uncomfortable, and it should, as a person who resides in this country, I haven't read much of, about or by Aboriginals. It has been a subject/area that I am intimidated by, but this was a great way to be introduced into the culture and a gateway into finding out more and also to pause and reflect on the stories.
