A timely essay collection on injustice in Australia

Australians love to talk about a 'fair go'. Yet inequality has been part of this sunburnt country since colonisation.

From Australia's treatment of its First Nations peoples to its refugees, from the prejudice suffered by the LGBTIQA+ community to the lack of support for returned soldiers, our country has not always treated its citizens with compassion and care. We have undervalued the land, causing damage to soil and waterways. What can this unenviable history teach us?

With a dazzling line-up of contributors including acclaimed thinkers Sheila Fitzpatrick, Joy Damousi, Jennifer Nadel, Uncle Russell Mullett, Leigh Boucher, Katie Wright and Justin Zobel, this collection asks: how can we make a fairer and more inclusive Australia?
