Solidarity

National treasure and writer Benjamin Law joins Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards to discuss solidarity in literature and non-fiction. 

• Introduction: Reading allows us to experience the world from another point of view. It is the ultimate act of empathy. But what about writing?
• Chapter 1: Benjamin Law joins Jamila and Astrid to consider the nuances of the responsibilities of writers, including whether writers can only write the cultural experience that they know.
• Chapter 2: Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo.
• Chapter 3: Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe.
• Recommendations: Jamila recommends Know My Name by Channel Miller. Astrid recommends Our House Is On Fire: Scenes of a family and planet in crisis by Greta Thunberg and her family, The Coconut Children by Vivian Pham and Terra Nullius: A Novel by Claire G. Coleman.
