The Little Red Yellow Black Book is an accessible and highly illustrated pocket-sized guide. It is an invaluable introduction to Australia’s rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culture. If you’re an adult wanting to learn what you weren’t taught at school, or a student or teacher who wants to hear from and about Indigenous Australians, or if you’re a migrant or tourist, or an institution or department with cross-cultural training needs, then The Little Red Yellow Black Book is a competitively priced and enjoyable resource.
The book takes a non-chronological approach, and is written from an Indigenous viewpoint. The themes that emerge are the importance of identity, adaptation and continuity. The four sections are: Who Are We?; Culture and Sport; Participation and Governance, and Resistance and Reconciliation.
The Little Red Yellow Black Book contains stories you don't hear elsewhere, mini essays on famous and everyday individuals and organisations, insight into a range of Australian Indigenous experiences and some rarely-seen photographs as well as information on travelling respectfully, and festivals and tours. A free website with extra material (some free downloads), and educational resources supplement the book.
Suitable for secondary and adult learning. For more information and teachers resources please visit the website at http://lryb.aiatsis.gov.au/
