Meet Jackie Huggins at Wynnum Library

Join Jackie Huggins, in conversation with ABC's Karina Hogan, as they discuss Jackie's new book, Sister Girl.

About this event

Sister Girl reflects on many important and timely topics including identity, activism, leadership and reconciliation. It challenges accepted notions of the appropriateness of mainstream feminism in Aboriginal society and of white historians writing Indigenous history.

The pieces in this seminal collection represent almost four decades of writing by historian and activist Jackie Huggins. These essays, speeches and interviews combine both the public and the personal in a bold trajectory tracing one Murri woman’s journey towards self-discovery and human understanding. As a widely respected cultural educator and analyst, Huggins offers an Aboriginal view of the history, values and struggles of Indigenous people.

Books will be available for purchase on the day, or bring your copy from home to be signed.
