The Little Red Yellow Black Book is an accessible and highly illustrated pocket-sized guide. It’s 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 very 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, and adaptation and continuity. The four sections are: Who Are We?; Culture and Sport; Participation and Governance, and Resistance and Reconciliation.

If you want to read stories the media don’t tell you, mini-essays on famous as well as everyday individuals and organisations will provide insights into a range of Australian Indigenous experiences. The Little Red Yellow Black Book contains 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.

AIATSIS (the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies) is the world’s premier institution for information and research about the cultures and lifestyles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It affirms and raises awareness of the richness and diversity of Australian Indigenous cultures and histories.
