Nunngoorie: Journey to Culture
As a child, Gary Knapp was removed from his loving family to Roelands mission, about 150 kilometres south of Perth. He was one of almost 500 Aboriginal children who suffered there at the hands of missionaries.
In his own unique voice, Nunngoorie: Journey to Culture tells the story of Gary's long journey to healing and self-discovery as he sets out on an odyssey; across the Nullarbor, through the heart of Central Australia and towards the Western Desert, as he meets his kin, learns the secrets of the traditional healers, and solves the mysteries of his own belonging.

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.
