SUMMARY:Noble Savage Bookclub: Common People
DESCRIPTION:Negro Speaks of Books acknowledges that this event will take place on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations. Sovereignty has never been ceded\, nor has a treaty ever been signed. We acknowledge all First Nations people who continue to practice language and culture in the face of ongoing colonialism and cultural genocide. We pay our respects to elders past\, present\, and emerging.\nIt is particularly important for settlers of colour\, especially black settlers\, to continue to reflect on our role in the continued oppression of Indigenous people\, and acknowledge our privilege as settlers. When we come together to discuss stories\, please remember the rich 50\,000+ history of storytelling that continues on these stolen lands.\nSupport Warriors of the Aboriginal Resistance “a collective of young Aboriginal people committed to the cause of decolonization and the philosophy of Aboriginal nationalism – resistance and revival” at https://www.facebook.com/WARcollective/. \nNegro Speaks of Books is happy to be continuing our Noble Savage Bookclub – a monthly bookclub for People of Colour\, with a focus on Black literature.  \nThis month we will be talking about short story collection Common People by Narrm’s own Tony Birch.\nBook description:\n“In this unforgettable new collection\, Tony Birch introduces a cast of characters from all walks of life. These remarkable and surprising stories capture common people caught up in the everyday business of living and the struggle to survive. From two single mothers on the most unlikely night shift to a homeless man unexpectedly faced with the miracle of new life\, Birch’s stories are set in gritty urban refuges and battling regional communities. His deftly drawn characters find unexpected signs of hope in a world where beauty can be found on every street corner – a message on a T-shirt\, a friend in a stray dog or a star in the night sky. \nCommon People shines a light on human nature and how the ordinary kindness of strangers can have extraordinary results. With characteristic insight and restraint\, Tony Birch reinforces his reputation as a master storyteller.” \nYou can head to your local library to lend the book or buy it. Don’t know where to buy the book? Readings and Dymocks both stock it for around $30. If you’re unable to get your hands on a copy\, private message Negro Speaks of Books and we will try to arrange something.\nIf you are happy to buy online and wait\, then Book Depository is a good option – it usually has sales and has free shipping that is  pretty quick.\nNegro Speaks of Books has an affiliation with Book Depository. With every purchase made through the affiliate link\, NSOB receives a 5% profit\, at no extra charge to you. The money from the affiliation will go into continuing the bookclub. \nIt would be greatly appreciated if you make your purchase through this link: https://www.bookdepository.com/Common-People-Tony-Birch/9780702259838?ref=grid-view&qid=1516180671577&sr=negrospeaksofbooks\nor find a general link http://www.bookdepository.com/?a_aid=negrospeaksofbooks \nCome through to Afrohub on Sunday the 25th of March from 1pm til 4pm!
