Digger J. Jones
Digger is keeping a diary about the things that matter to him: piffing yonnies at the meatworks, fishing with his cousins and brawling with the school bully. But it's 1967, and bigger things keep getting in the way. Digger is finding out who he is, what he believes, and what's worth fighting for. This moving and often funny novel perfectly captures the voice of a young boy involved in the Yes Campaign for the 1967 referendum. This referendum, which removed two references in the Australian Constitution that discriminated against Aboriginal people, was a major turning point in race relations in Australia.

Decolonizing the Landscape
How does one read across cultural boundaries? The multitude of creative texts, performance practices, and artworks produced by Indigenous writers and artists in contemporary Australia calls upon Anglo-European academic readers, viewers, and critics to respond to this critical question. Contributors address a plethora of creative works by Indigenous writers, poets, playwrights, filmmakers, and painters, including Richard Frankland, Lionel Fogarty, Lin Onus, Kim Scott, Sam Watson, and Alexis Wright, as well as Durrudiya song cycles and works by Western Desert artists.

Shadows in Sunshine
Ian Vaughan. Family man... once. Now recruited to the SIS and fresh out of training, his first field op looks to be almost a breeze. His assignment sounds highly achievable - a mission to befriend a charismatic politician who, in the wake of the failed Arab Spring, has conceived a unification plan for the North African oil and gas producing nations. Western governments welcome the plan, but other forces are at work... A conference to present the plan is to be held on the beautiful island of Madeira and Vaughan, using the cover of a maritime author, is dispatched to the island, assisted by the Royal Navy. En route, he rescues a boy adrift on a sailboard and comes into contact with his widowed mother who is host to her Brazilian uncle, unaware that his entire ambitions could destroy the European economy. Greed and death lay in the shadows as Vaughan finds himself embroiled in conspiracy and danger, challenging both his judgement and his courage. The third book in the Vaughan series, Shadows in Sunshine continues the thrilling pace of its predecessors and charts the waters of international espionage with poise and finesse.
