About this item

"Coleman's timely debut is testimony to the power of an old story seen afresh through new eyes. " - Adelaide Advertiser "In our politically tumultuous time, the novel's themes of racism, inherent humanity and freedom are particularly poignant. " - Books Publishing The Natives of the Colony are restless. The Settlers are eager to have a nation of peace and to bring the savages into line. Families are torn apart. Reeducation is enforced. This rich land will provide for all. This is not the Australia we know. This is not the Australia of the history books. Terra Nullius is something new, but all too familiar. Shortlisted for the 2018 Stella Prize Indie Book Awards and Highly Commended for the Victorian Premiers Literary Awards, Terra Nullius is an incredible debut from a striking new Australian Aboriginal voice.
