Memories and Elephants: The art of casual racism is a collection of memoir-based essays set against the sociopolitical background of Australian society.
In these essays-written with clarity and compassion by Meaghan Katrak Harris-you’ll explore the intersectionality of Australian culture, classism, racism and identity as the author has lived it.
Drawing on her experiences of being a teenage mother, a member of a large multicultural family, a social worker, and an academic, Meaghan uses powerful personal narrative to illuminate often uncomfortable aspects of our society-the elephants in the room that have been historically downplayed and ignored.
Taking you from memories of country life to the city, from the street to national television, Memories and Elephants invites you to think beyond the dominant narrative of Australian identity.
