Spinifex Press has sought to make the voices of Indigenous women heard
In media discussions about the VOICE, there have been many factual errors, including the claim that colonisation has not had a negative effect on Indigenous peoples by Jacinta Nampajinpa Price at a Press Club appearance. The evidence from Australia and abroad is that this claim cannot be sustained. Over more than 30 years of publishing, Spinifex Press has sought to make the voices of Indigenous women heard as well as those of women who have lived and worked over long periods of time with Indigenous women from different parts of Australia. Spinifex has also published works by and for Indigenous women in other countries. As we approach the referendum, it is important that as many of us as possible inform ourselves about this history.
Here is a list of books you might want to share with others, especially those who feel uncertain about how to vote in the referendum.
