Talkin' Up to the White Woman: Indigenous Women and Feminism by Aileen Moreton-Robinson

challenging dark emotional informative slow-paced

5.0

Aileen Moreton-Robison is a Goenpul woman of the Quandamooka People and I read this book  on the land of the Kaurna Peoples Moreton-Robison had this book published initially in 2000. My copy is the 20th anniversary edition. And I don’t think things have changed. From academic views to social views. In Australia as a white woman I would say non Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples do poorly at providing any forms of equity or equality to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Moreton-Robinson breaks down different ways in which white feminism has not provided support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in Australia. Moreton-Robison provides strong arguments for differences that still occur today. This book has been life changing for me and is to me and my personal learning still very much a 101 stand point.
