Inhaltsangabe

Dear Son shares heartfelt letters written by First Nations men about life, masculinity, love, culture and racism.

Along with his own vivid and poignant prose and poetry, author and editor Thomas Mayo invites 13 contributors to write a letter to their son, father or nephew, bringing together a range of perspectives that offers the greatest celebration of First Nations manhood.

This beautifully designed anthology comes at a time when First Nations peoples are starting to break free of derogatory stereotypes and find solace in their communities and cultures. Yet, each contributor also has one thing in common: they all have a relative who has been terribly wronged – enslaved, raped and dispossessed – because of their Aboriginality.

Featuring letters from Noel Pearson, Stan Grant, Troy Cassar-Daley, John Liddle, Charlie King, Joe Williams, Yessie Mosby, David Wirrpanda, Joel Bayliss, Daniel James, Jack Latimore, Daniel Morrison and Tim Sculthorpe.

A gentle and loving book for families from anywhere in the world. Artwork by proud Kaurna/Ngarrindjeri/Narrunga/Italian Australian artist Tony Wilson, with illustrations and design by Gamilaraay designer Tristan Schultz of Relative Creative.
