My People : A Kath Walker Collection

Walker, Kath (Oodgeroo Noonuccal)
96 pages, illustrated, first edition. The jacket has been protected with a plastic cover, and apart from a gift inscription, the book is in excellent condition: clean unmarked and solid. "Kath Walker's verse is surely the most articulate and emotional plea for justice that has yet been been made for Australia's Aborigines. 'We Are Going' and ' The Dawn is at Hand, have been collected in one volume, together, together with new poetry, short stories and speeches that, with Mollie Horseman's delicate and evotive line drawings , may do even more for her cause." (front flap) "Oodgeroo (meaning 'paperbark tree') of the Noonuccal people of Stradbroke Island was known as Kath Walker until she returned to her language name in 1988 as a sign of protest against Australia's Bicentenary celebrations and as a symbol of pride in an Aboriginal heritage." (Reading Australia) 'My Peopl' listed ten days after the No vote won the referendum. Plus ça change.....
