Blackisms.

Above and below the illustration are the words 'Blackisms: black is never having any friends except your cousins'. The rest of the page is filled with statements in small print about what it means to be black ('Black is a way of life', 'black is knowing this land is our land', and so on). On the back is a list of items for sale, such as FAIRA badges and t-shirts, Aboriginal flag pins and bags, and various publications pertaining to Aboriginal affairs.
