Summary

In September Meanjin, Queensland academic, Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman Chelsea Watego writes powerfully on the necessity of ‘walking away’ from colonial institutions and constructs, in order to find the truth of individual and collective power as an Indigenous Australian. It is, she argues, a fight against the very notion of race itself: ‘We must stand in our own power, for it is only in knowing ours that we know the false claims of theirs. This is black power.’
