William Cooper was an Australian Aboriginal activist who lived from 1860-1941 and his biography tells how he set a platform for activists to follow right up to 2019 with recent calls for Voice, Treaty, Truth in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. He was the founder of NAIDOC and had the idea for the Day of Mourning for the 150th anniversary of white settlement. He petitioned the King of England for his people only to find that Aborigines were not citizens of Australia. This led to those he mentored like Ps Doug Nicholls taking up the campaign for the 1967 referendum so First Nations People could be counted in the census. He also stood up for persecuted Jews re Kristallnacht in 1938.
This is a historical book that tells the story of the black race in Australia. It explores the unequal struggle between the white man and his coloured brother. In dealing with this subject in this book, the author has aimed to place before the reader a simple narrative of facts that illustrates the condition into which Australian blacks were brought by their contact with the white man after possession of the land taken by Governor Phillip and the motley crowd that crossed the sea from England with him to form a British settlement on Australian shore.
Australia is wreaking devastation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Whatever the policy--from protection to assimilation, self-determination to intervention, reconciliation to recognition--government has done little to improve the quality of life of Indigenous people. In far too many instances, interaction with governments has only made Indigenous lives worse. Despite this, many Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders and commentators still believe that working with the state is the only viable option. The result is constant churn and reinvention in Indigenous affairs, as politicians battle over the 'right' approach to solving Indigenous problems. The Colonial Fantasy considers why Australia persists in the face of such obvious failure. It argues that white Australia can't solve black problems because white Australia is the problem. Australia has resisted the one thing that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people want, and the one thing that has made a difference elsewhere: the ability to control and manage their own lives. It calls for a radical restructuring of the relationship between black and white Australia.
A searing new novel from leading Indigenous storyteller Tony Birch that explores the lengths we will go to in order to save the people we love.Odette Brown has lived her whole life on the fringes of a small country town.

When a new policeman arrives in town, determined to enforce the law, Odette must risk everything to save Sissy and protect everything she loves. In The White Girl, Miles-Franklin-shortlisted author Tony Birch shines a spotlight on the 1960s and the devastating government policy of taking Indigenous children from their families.
