A review by katelarsenkeys
My People by Oodgeroo Noonuccal

5.0

A powerful collection of lyrical and political First Nations poetry, with clear calls for action and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from the 1970s that are as relevant (and depressingly similar) to today’s.

“We want hope, not racialism,
Brotherhood, not ostracism,
Black advance, not white ascendance:
Make us equals, not dependants.”
