'The second volume of new writing and art from emerging and established Aboriginal artists and writers, featuring stories, poetry, art, photography, and a range of reviews, interviews, and insights. Treaty takes the reader into some serious territories, but remains focused on placing Indigenous culture in the public sphere, forging connections and engagement between all Australians. Treaty invites you to imagine what this could mean for Aboriginal people and how we must learn from our troubled colonial history. With contributions by Bruce Pascoe, Lionel Fogarty, Ali Cobby Eckermann, Maryanne Sam, Melissa McAllister, Patsy Smith, Tony Birch, Peter Waples-Crowe, Wayne Quilliam, James Henry, and many others.'
