First Nations Writing
Meanjin 1977 to Today
‘This is writing about us, by us’, as selected by Jeanine Leane and Dan Bourchier.
First Nations Writing: Meanjin 1977 to today captures powerful Aboriginal and Torres Strait writers who have shaped the national conversation across peoples, place and time. It showcases a richness of First Nations writing and ideas that reflect on the past and imagines a future built on respect, fairness and truth.
The collection includes work by poets, public intellectuals, writers, philosophers, critics and social commentators that altogether show what it is to be an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person in Australia, then and now.

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.
