Dear Son 2nd edition

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Dear Son 2nd Edition shares heartfelt letters written by First Nations men about life, masculinity, love, culture and racism. Along with his own vivid and poignant prose and poetry, author and editor Thomas Mayo invites nearly twenty contributors to write a letter to their son or father, bringing together a range of perspectives that offers the greatest celebration of First Nations manhood.

This beautifully designed anthology comes at a time when First Nations peoples are starting to break free of derogatory stereotypes and find solace in their communities and cultures. Yet each contributor also has one thing in common: they all have a relative who has been terribly wronged - enslaved, raped and dispossessed - because of their Aboriginality.

Featuring previously published letters from Stan Grant, Troy Cassar-Daley, John Liddle, Charlie King, Joe Williams, Yessie Mosby, Joel Bayliss, Daniel James, Jack Latimore, Daniel Morrison, Tim Sculthorpe, Blak Douglas; and new letters from Dane Simpson, Kobie Dee, Kaleb Mabo, Jimi Bani, Paul Callaghan and Isaac Drandic.

This is a gentle and loving book for families from anywhere in the world.
