The Yield
Winner of the 2020 Miles Franklin Award
The powerful novel of truthtelling as a beautiful clothbound hardback, part of the Penguin Modern Australian Classics series
Knowing that he will soon die, Albert 'Poppy' Gondiwindi takes pen to paper, determined to pass on the language of his people and everything that was ever remembered. He finds the words on the wind.
August Gondiwindi returns home for her grandfather's burial, wracked with grief and burdened with all she tried to leave behind. Determined to make amends, she endeavours to save their land - a quest that leads her to the voice of her grandfather and into the past, the stories of her people, the secrets of the river.
The Yield is the story of a people and a culture dispossessed. But it is as much a celebration of what was and what endures, and a powerful reclaiming of Indigenous language, storytelling and identity.

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.
