It wasn't just about what was happening, but what they could foresee happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom rural New South Wales to Far North Queensland and Darwin, the authors experienced childhoods shaped by harsh government control and enduring community strength. Bound by kinship, political awakening, and an upbringing forged in survival and resistance, they converged in Redfern and sparked a movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the Wave Hill Walk-Off, the Yolngu fight against mining, and Black liberation struggles abroad, they found radical allies in student activists, unionists, Communists, progressive Christians, and professionals. They established community-controlled organisations including the Aboriginal Legal Service, Aboriginal Medical Service, Black Theatre, Murawina Preschool, and the Aboriginal Housing Company. The landmark 1972 Aboriginal Tent Embassy demonstrated to all of Australia that Redfern was at the forefront of a nation-wide Black Movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs activists, mothers, aunties, and Elders, these are the women who built institutions, organised protests, and sustained their families and communities with fierce love and resolve. Told collectively and in their own words, \u003cem\u003eSistas in the Struggle\u003c\/em\u003e honours the women of the Redfern Black Movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68068920557804,"sku":"9780522882810","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780522882810-sistas-in-the-struggle-1.jpg?v=1793820724"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/ann-weldon.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
