Daniel James

About

Daniel is a Yorta Yorta Melbourne based writer and broadcaster. He is the winner of the 2018 Horne Prize for his essay Ten More Days.

Daniel is a contributor to the Saturday Paper IndigenousX, SBS, Crikey, the Age/Sydney Morning Herald, the Guardian and writes weekly for the Politics and hosts the Mission on 3RRRFM. Daniel’s work explores notions of empathy, intergenerational trauma, hidden history and the political landscape that continues to shape the lives of Aboriginal people across the country.

Born in Melbourne and raised on Taungurong country in North East Victoria, Daniel is currently working on his first manuscript which seeks to expand on these concepts.
