'‘[W]e are strong, we are beautiful and we should be proud of our culture, our stories, our languages.’ - Danzal Baker (aka Baker Boy)
'Homeland Calling is a collection of poems created from hip-hop song lyrics that channel culture and challenge stereotypes. Written by First Nations youth from communities all around Australia, the powerful words display a maturity beyond their years. Edited by award-winning author and poet Ellen van Neerven, and brought to you by Desert Pea Media, the verses in this book are the result of young artists exploring their place in the world, expressing the future they want for themselves and their communities.
'These young people are the future, and their passion for their culture, languages and homelands is beyond inspiring.'
