Inala Cooper

Marrul

Aboriginal Identity and the Fight for Rights

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What does reconciliation and truth-telling look like, and how do we as a nation find justice for Indigenous people? Exploring the impacts of major events throughout her life, Inala Cooper reflects on how human rights are breached and defended. She examines reconciliation and the need to share wealth and power, and the importance of truth-telling and justice. In finding her place as an advocate and activist for social justice, Inala is supported by her family, her ancestors, community and the academy. It is these supports that help her challenge racist and outdated notions of what it means to be Indigenous, sovereign and self-determined, and to uphold the principles of justice. The thought-provoking stories in this book surface more questions than the necessary answers. But Inala brings us to her home as she weaves together her stories, the country she's connected to, and the elements that shape her path-- none so prevalent as Marrul: the changing wind.
