my people Oodgeroo’s writing has a unique place in Australian literature. When her poetry was first published in the 1960s, Kath Walker, as she was known then, provided a brave new voice for marginalised Aboriginal Australians. For the first time, an Aboriginal Australian was analysing and judging white Australians as well as her own people. She often made provocative and passionate pleas for justice: We want hope, not racialism, Brotherhood, not ostracism, Black advance, not white ascendance: Make us equals, not dependants. This collection of poetry and prose is a reminder of Oodgeroo’s contribution to Indigenous culture and the journey toward reconciliation. All Australians should be proud of this poet who dedicated her life to her people and her land.
"Passion for Peace considers the use of non-violence and attaining human rights for all. It also raises questions about current issues, including peace in the Middle East, US unilateralism, the war on terrorism, powerlessness associated with poverty, racism and justice for asylum seekers."--BOOK JACKET.
This book, published in 2000, explores the feelings of non-Aboriginal Australians as they articulate their sense of belonging to the land.
