working as allies:

Supporters of indigenous justice reflect

By: Jen Margaret

In Working as Allies, non-indigenous supporters of indigenous justice in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand discuss their practice. Through in-depth interviews they candidly share the challenges of this work and their responses to these. They reflect on what led them to become involved in indigenous justice issues, what informs their approach and how they know if their work is useful. The principles discussed, and the inclusion of resources based on research in North America, make this book relevant across a range of social justice areas. Working as allies offers inspiration, insight, guidance and practical ideas to anyone with a passion for social justice.

Working as allies will be of considerable value to all who work with Māori and other indigenous peoples in the social services, health sectors, education, police and justice.

The engaging stories and candid sharing offer inspiration and instruction to both experienced and new supporters of Indigenous solidarity.

Jen Margaret’s intimate and open interviews provide much-needed political and practical advice for social movements willing to acknowledge and challenge racism.

“Jen Margaret’s book on working as allies offers us both hope and practical ideas about how to address the changes needed.”
