Ruby Langford Ginibi's Books

Ruby Langford Ginibi' s remarkable talent for storytelling grabbed the attention of both black and white Australians when she released Don' t Take Your Love to Town, which has gone on to become a bestseller and is now a seminal work of Indigenous memoir. Don' t Take Your Love to Town is a story of courage in the face of poverty and tragedy. Ruby recounts losing her mother when she was six, growing up in a mission in northern New South Wales and leaving home when she was fifteen. She lived in tin huts and tents in the bush and picked up work on the land while raising nine children virtually single-handedly. Later she struggled to make ends meet in the Koori areas of Sydney. Don' t Take Your Love to Town is a brilliant memoir that will open your eyes and heart to an extraordinary woman' s story.

Haunted by the Past is the story of Ruby Langford Ginibi's son, Nobby, who has been in and out of prisons since he was an adolescent. Most famously he was involved with an escape from Long Bay in 1974. Nobby has had to deal with the death of three of his siblings as well as the deaths in custody of many of his black friends. This book is their story as well as his. With the bias of motherlove, Ginibi tracks the system's failed attempts to brutalise her son, and its war against him and many other young black men and women."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
