Presented by: Brisbane Writers Festival in partnership with Brisbane Powerhouse

In conversation with Michael Ondaatje

Eminent historian Henry Reynolds has transformed Australia’s understanding of its past in his pioneering accounts of colonial violence and conflict. In Looking from the North, he takes a top-down view of the nation’s history, flipping our southern-centric view on its head by telling the story of how the tropics were colonised and how this venture, beginning in 1861, differed markedly from the way events unfolded in the south. This masterful scholarly reappraisal offers valuable new perspectives for our present and future.
