Kirrenderri: Heart of the Channel Country
Michael C. Westaway; Mandana Mapar; Tracey Hough; Shawnee Gorringe; Geoff Ginn
Brisbane: The University of Queensland Anthropology Museum, 2022.“The project was developed in partnership between the Anthropology Museum, Mithaka Aboriginal Corporation and researchers from The University of Queensland. This publication contains 14 essays by 22 contributors and explores the pre-colonial history of the Channel Country, to the early years of European settlement and through to the more recent history, now being shaped by the academic researchers that have come to study the distant past of the land and the people who have always been part of this story. But this is not just about the past – it continues into the present. Central to this story is the involvement of the Aboriginal people who have never ceased their connection to the Channel Country.” (publisher’s blurb)

How They Fought: Indigenous Tactics and Weaponry of Australia’s Frontier Wars
Ray Kerkhove
Brisbane: Boolarong Press, 2023.“The history of Australia’s Frontier Wars is becoming a hot topic for debate and research. It is now part of our national educational syllabus. However, there are very few books available which explain, in detail, the modes of warfare First Australians applied during the Frontier Wars. How They Fought is written as an introductory guidebook. It is broken into chapters covering organisation, strategies, weaponry, and defences. The book considers both traditional practices and technological and tactical adaptations. To make this complex topic more accessible, How They Fought includes numerous tables, figures and diagrams that illustrate and summarize the contents.” (publisher’s blurb)

A White Genocidal Assimilationist Bitch Speaks
Kathleen Mary Fallon
[Sydney]: Polar Bear Press, 2023.“This second publication in the Queensland School Reader series continues Fallon’s reconciliation dialogues telling intimate stories of her forty years as the lesbian foster mother of a Torres Strait Islander with disabilities. This was during the lesophobic decades when the boy would have been immediately removed from her care if the Authorities had discovered her lesbianism. Her stories are angry, tragic, darkly humorous, sometimes just plain snarky and gossipy. Ranging geographically from Brisbane to Sydney to London and ranging temporally over those forty year they are personally, politically, socially and culturally informative and candid snap shots of those times. There is an urgency about these stories and they need to be told.” (author’s blurb)
