Synopsis "Born Into This "

"With its wit, intelligence and restless exploration of the parameters of race and place, Thompsons debut collection is a welcome addition to the canon of Indigenous Australian writers." Thuy On, The GuardianThe remarkable stories in Born Into This are eye-opening, razor-sharp, and entertaining, often all at once.From an Aboriginal ranger trying to instill some pride in wayward urban teens on the harsh islands off the coast of Tasmania, to those scraping by on the margins of white society railroaded into complex and compromised decisions, Adam Thompson presents a powerful indictment of colonialism and racism.With humor, pathos, and the occasional sly twist, Thompsons characters confront discrimination, untimely funerals, classroom politics, the ongoing legacy of cultural destruction, and overhanging all like a discomforting, burgeoning awareness for both black and white Australia the inexorable disappearance of the remnant natural world.
