AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In early 1990, I thought I'd try and get an anthology of poems going and asked some of my friends and family to contribute, and what you read in this anthology is a culmination of all the gathering I did. There's 134 poems, 23 contributors, males and females, so here it is. Read and enjoy our voices. There are poems of love, hate, anger, dreaming, land, culture, animals, philosophy, respect, missionaries, colonisers, survival, politics, caring, life, death and hope.' (Source: back cover)

'This ... collection of stories features a foreword by Dr Pam Johnston that places Ruby’s anecdotes in the context of a country which seems incapable of healing its past or of creating a better future for Indigenous people. Featuring the best stories from Ruby’s Real Deadly, plus many unpublished gems dating as far back as 1992, All My Mob’s portrayal of family life, ‘home’, and life as an Aborigine in today’s Australia is fascinating, often confronting and unforgettable.'
