Browsing: dirt poor islanders

In conversation with Winnie Dunn on her debut novel, Dirt Poor Islanders (2024)

Books July 16, 2024By Valerie Chidiac and Sandra Kallarakkal

Sitting down with Honi Soit, Dunn spoke to the weight and joys of such firsts, her journey in writing, and what it means for me to be able to tell her own story, in a way, in Dirt Poor Islanders, and dispel the countless representations that seem to indicate that there is one way to look or be Tongan in Mount Druitt.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. The University of Sydney – where we write, publish and distribute Honi Soit – is on the sovereign land of these people. As students and journalists, we recognise our complicity in the ongoing colonisation of Indigenous land. In recognition of our privilege, we vow to not only include, but to prioritise and centre the experiences of Indigenous people, and to be reflective when we fail to be a counterpoint to the racism that plagues the mainstream media.
