Black Thunder: An Indigenous young man living in a white man's world (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923449619)

Black Thunder is a powerful narrative, weaving elements of fiction and non-fiction, following James (Jim), a young Noongar man grappling with his identity after being released from prison. Despite his privileged upbringing, he finds himself asking, 'where did it all go wrong?' and, more importantly, 'how can I improve myself?' Through Jim's honest and frustrated monologue, he recounts the choices that lured him away from his promising future in sports and into a life he regrets. His story-and his desire to reconnect with his mob and reclaim his future-is a poignant, relatable narrative for any young person navigating the pull between two worlds. Short, impactful and designed to be read in a single sitting, Black Thunder speaks universally across countries and ethnicities, offering a distinctly Aboriginal Australian story of regret, resilience and the path to self-improvement.
