Lies, Damned Lies: A personal exploration of the impact of colonisation by Claire G. Coleman

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Wow. This book made me realise my knowledge of Australian history is SEVERELY lacking. I knew we are (shamefully) the only commonwealth nation to not have a treaty with the indigenous population, but the NT intervention??? The fucking banning of Aboriginals in Perth after sunset??? Honestly, the author wields her words against colonisation and white supremacy so candidly, it’s impossible to not hungrily devour this book and then immediately question everything. Highly recommend, particularly if you’re a non-indigenous Australian
