Horman’s list of books we don’t need includes “hate against white Australians, socialist agenda, equity over equality, diversity and inclusion (READ AS anti-white exclusion), left wing govt propaganda”.

Key Points: 
  • Horman’s list of books we don’t need includes “hate against white Australians, socialist agenda, equity over equality, diversity and inclusion (READ AS anti-white exclusion), left wing govt propaganda”.
  • Robinsons has since made an official apology, claiming Horman’s comments had been “taken out of context” and “misrepresented”.
  • Ironically, her earlier call on social media for less diversity comes as many librarians are calling for more diverse books in Australian bookshops and libraries.
  • In relation to positive male lead characters, in April 2019, I examined the 100 bestselling picture books at Australian book retailer Dymocks.
  • There were only seven female-led books in the top 50, compared to 26 male-led books.

‘Traditional nuclear white family stories’

  • While Horman claimed “traditional nuclear white family stories” were “missing” from Robinsons’ bookshelves, such households are commonly portrayed in Australian picture books.
  • (Yes, more family types are now being explored, but white, two-parent families are far from missing.)
  • Australian booksellers’ peak industry body, Book People, posted on X yesterday: “We stand with bookshops that celebrate inclusivity”.

Not ‘missing from the mix’

  • Positive stories with men and boys as the hero are almost missing from the mix.
  • Neither Susanne Horman, nor Robinsons Bookshop are making a value judgement on this observation.
  • Susanne apologises if people have taken this comment as a negative reflection on an excellent range of diverse books.

Is the industry changing?

  • However, the Australian publishing industry is a long way off equitable representation.
  • Its workers remain “largely white”, which is reflected in its publishing output.
  • Australian picture books, for example, remain predominately white in representation, with people of colour making up approximately 12% of characters.
