Ziggy Ramoas is a Hop-hop artist and writer, has published a new book called, Human? A Lie That’s Been Killing Us Since 1788 ⁠ So-called Australia is built upon a lie: that 97% of the population are human, and the others simply ‘Indigenous’, devoid of the same basic rights.⁠ Human? is the story of acclaimed Wik artist Ziggy Ramo’s experience growing up under the weight of this lie. We’ve had 236 years of continued destruction in the name of ‘civilised progress’, under an oppressive colonial system that punches down on almost everyone. We all deserve more. But to move forward we have to be honest about the past.⁠ Ziggy Ramo's raw hip-hop made a lot of Australians uncomfortable. He expects his book to do the same.
