Children’s book by British chef Jamie Oliver is withdrawn after criticism from Indigenous Australians
The children’s book, penned by British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, drew criticism from Indigenous Australians alleging that the book included culturally insensitive content. The book, designed to educate children about global foods and culinary practices, apparently included some inaccuracies and misrepresentations of Indigenous Australian culture. Taking note of the objections, publishers took a sensitive decision to withdraw the book from circulation. All the criticisms and subsequent actions underline the importance of cultural sensitivity and accurate representation in literature.
