Another Australia edited by Winnie Dunn Book Launch

Winnie Dunn, editor of Another Australia will be joined by Michael Mohammed Ahmad, the editor of After Australia to dicuss and celebrate the release of Another Australia.

Twelve diverse writers reveal another Australia hidden behind, beneath and beside the country we think we know.

A suburban psychic’s ominous warning. A conversation in Yuwaalaraay. A glimpse of a shameful, hidden history. A love that moves a mountain. In this unwavering follow-up to After Australia, twelve more boundary-pushing Indigenous writers and writers of colour show us all that is and could exist in our versions of Australia.

Featuring Shankari Chandran, Osman Faruqi, Declan Fry, Amani Haydar, Shirley Le, L-FRESH the LION, Mohammed Massoud Morsi, Omar Musa, Sisonke Msimang, Sara Saleh, Nardi Simpson and Anne Marie Te Whiu.
