Where's All the Community? by Julie Andrews — Readings Books

We are delighted to host the launch of Julie Andrews' Where's All the Community? Aboriginal Melbourne Revisited.

In Where's All the Community?, Andrews paints a vivid portrait of the Aboriginal community in Melbourne, from 1835 to today.

Drawing on extensive interviews with community members, her research in anthropology and her own family's story, Andrews traces the bonds that have shaped and sustained Aboriginal Melbourne. She explores the importance of kinship, geographic mobility and ties to other First Nations communities. She considers health, education and housing, including the crucial role played by Aboriginal-led organisations. And she describes the ongoing campaigns for social justice, land rights and self-determination.
