<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>my people</b> <p>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: <p>We want hope, not racialism, <br> Brotherhood, not ostracism, <br> Black advance, not white ascendance: <br> Make us equals, not dependants. <p>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Oodgeroo's writing has a unique place in Australian literature.
