A great anthology
The editors of this collection, Anne Brewster, Angeline O'Neill, and Rosemary van den Berg, have done a splendid job of assembling a set of narratives and lyrics that reflect dozens of voices across time and space. There is plenty of variety to keep the reader engaged. At the same time the volume develops the overarching theme of Aboriginal self-determination--assuredly a political stance, but here given repeated personal definition as the authors use their stories to say "this is who I am; this is Aboriginal."
