Aunty Ida West (1919-2003) was a revered Palawa elder in Lutruwita, Tasmania, who spent her life advocating for the rights of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. Her powerful memoir Pride Against Prejudice – the first published Palawa autobiography – shares lived experience, resilience and history of Tasmanian Aboriginal life.

Written with warmth and clarity, she weaves together family stories, community, land and justice across Flinders Island and mainland Tasmania.
