More about the book
In The Blackside, Kevin Gilbert uses his poetry to serve the daily struggle for the rights of Aboriginal people in Australia. He denounces the violence of the "land thieves" that the colonizers were and the denial of the white man who long refused to recognize the rights of his people. This collection recounts the social misery of the natives, family and political violence, as well as the ancestral myths that shaped the Aboriginal tribes. The historical struggle for human rights led by this man remains relevant today. His message is universal and his poetry, powerful.
