First Knowledges: The Collection
10-Book Box Set
First Knowledges: The Collection introduces Indigenous knowledge systems in vital areas, exploring their relevance to the present and the future. It brings together two distinct ways of understanding the natural world: one rooted in over 65,000 years of tradition, the other shaped by colonial perspectives. Each book is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers and editors, with the series curated by Margo Ngawa Neale, former senior Indigenous curator at the National Museum of Australia.
For the first time, all ten books of this bestselling series are available in a collectable box set featuring the artwork Nganampa Ngura (Our Country) by Alec Baker and Kunmanara (Peter) Mungkuri.

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.
