Description

Home: Mapping the Stories of Redfern is a moving collection of interviews, anecdotes, portraits and community stories from Redfern and its surrounding communities.

Published by Sydney Story Factory in 2014, this book grew out of a community writing project run throughout 2013 and 2014. It brings together the voices of adults and children, long-term residents and newcomers, sharing what Redfern means to them and why this place holds such significance.

The collection includes contributions from Professor Marie Bashir, Clover Moore, Nathan Merritt, Sol Bellear and many young people from the Redfern community. Illustrated with photographs and portraits, this book is a valuable record of Redfern’s social history, community life, urban experience, First Nations perspectives and local identity.
