Have you read The White Girl (2019) by Tony Birch?

I love this cover. The newly released UK version has a drawing of a bath on the cover.

The White Girl is a story of a grandmother who protects her grandchild from a cruel, racist cop; who wants to remove her using systematically racist laws that deprived #Aboriginal people of human rights pre-1970s.

In the background, as the narrative moves from country to city, is the historical activism and resistance that led to improved human rights for #FirstPeoples in so-called Australia.
