‘This is writing about us, by us’, as selected by Jeanine Leane and Dan Bourchier.

First Nations Writing: Meanjin 1977 to today captures powerful Aboriginal and Torres Strait writers who have shaped the national conversation across peoples, place and time. It showcases a richness of First Nations writing and ideas that reflect on the past and imagines a future built on respect, fairness and truth.

The collection includes work by poets, public intellectuals, writers, philosophers, critics and social commentators that altogether show what it is to be an Aboriginal or Torres Strait

Islander person in Australia, then and now.
