Shapeshifting

First Nations Lyric Nonfiction

About this book

Powerful First Nations voices explore identity, culture, and resilience through innovative nonfiction.

Shapeshifting is a groundbreaking collection of lyric essays by First Nations writers, co-edited by Jeanine Leane and Ellen van Neerven. These essays push the boundaries of nonfiction, moving beyond traditional biography and academic discourse to experiment with form and challenge genre conventions.

Through personal stories, historical analysis, and cultural reflection, the contributors explore themes of colonialism, trauma, healing, and the ongoing struggle for sovereignty.

  • Discover authentic Indigenous perspectives on Australian history and contemporary life.
  • Experience the power of storytelling as a tool for resistance and cultural reclamation.
  • Explore innovative approaches to creative nonfiction that break free from conventional structures.
This collection is for readers seeking diverse voices, challenging narratives, and a deeper understanding of the First Nations experience in Australia.
