Finding Justice: From Courtroom to Country
A revelatory exploration of how law and lore can co-exist, from the bestselling author of After Story.
Larissa Behrendt has lived an extraordinary career - as a legal academic, author and filmmaker - that has allowed her to move between courtrooms and Country to explore what real justice means, and what it might yet become.
In this ground-breaking work that is part philosophical meditation and part historical reckoning, Behrendt weaves together personal reflection, Indigenous knowledge and decades of legal experience to illuminate a deeper truth about Australia: that more than one way of understanding law, justice and responsibility has always existed.
With quiet authority, Behrendt considers how First Nations' Practices of Sovereignty - grounded in self-determination, reciprocity and collective care - have succeeded within communities.
Clear‑eyed, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful, Finding Justice is a profound invitation: to rethink power and policy, expand our understanding of justice and achieve genuine transformation.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
