Books by First Nations Authors:
Another Day in the Colony by Chelsea Watego https://www.uqp.com.au/books/another-day-in-the-colony
“In this collection of deeply insightful and powerful essays, Chelsea Watego examines the ongoing and daily racism faced by
First Nations peoples in so-called Australia. Rather than offer yet another account of ‘the Aboriginal problem’, she theorises a strategy for
living in a society that has only ever imagined Indigenous peoples as destined to die out.”
This is particularly relevant as she describes her experiences in academia and the Health Sciences growing up and living in Mianjin.
She provides examples of systemic racism in Health Sciences and Academia, including the very way we as health professionals were trained.
