This second release of First Nations Classics ranges across genres, including novels, memoir and poetry, and features new introductions by some of today's most prominent First Nations writers. Showcasing a number of Unaipon Award winners, the series is inspired by the richness and cultural importance of First Nations writing, and the longstanding role UQP has had in publishing those works. It aims to bring new readers and renewed attention to some brilliant, timeless books that are as important, engaging and relevant today as they ever were on first publication.
