Description
Details

Aboriginal people in Australia are defined by many stereotypes and labels:
Good at footy and dot painting.
Spiritual.
Angry activists.
Live in remote communities.

And then there’s a raft of negative and abusive terms. But where do these labels come from and is there any truth to them? What is it like to grow up Aboriginal in Australia?
An anthology of autobiographical accounts that defy, question and shed light on the usual stereotypes about Aboriginal people.
