PAPERBARK - BLACK AUSTRALIAN WRITINGS - 1990

This is the first collection to span the diverse range of Black Australian writings.

Thirty-six Aboriginal and Islander authors have contributed, including David Unaipon, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, Gerry Bostock, Ruby Langford, Robert Bropho, Jack Davis, Hyllus Maris, William Ferguson, Sally Morgan, Mudrooroo Narogin and Archie Weller.  Many more are represented through community writings such as petitions and letters.

Collected over six years from all the states and territories of Australia, this book ranges widely across time and genre - from the 1840s to the present, from transcriptions of oral literature to rock opera.  Prose, poetry, song, drama and polemic are accompanied by the selected artworks of Jimmy Pike, and an extensive, up-to-date bibliography.

The voices of Black Australia speak with passion and power in this challenging and important anthology.

This 369 page softcover is ex-library and as such has all the usual stamps and stickers.  There is a contact covering to outside cover which has some edgewear and marks and there are a couple of creases to spine.  Internally there is a texta mark covering price and some grubby marks to page edges only (does not impact on page face).  It is otherwise tight and clean.
