What is it to talk about race and racism in this country? What is really at stake for racially marginalised people to speak to the truths of injustice? For a lot of People of Colour and First Nations peoples, it can be really hard to reconcile that these are not far-off extreme things occurring in only political debate or right-wing rhetoric. It can be in our closest and intimate relationships, and our work places. So these conversations are charged with emotion and knowing that to speak to injustice can be at the loss of a friendship, a partner, a job, a social structure you once thought was safe and familiar.
This week, we were joined by award-winning journalist, co-founder and co-chair of Media Diversity Australia - Antoinette Lattouf. She has just released a book titled How to Lose Friends and Influence White People. It reads as a sort of guidebook, speaking to race relations in this country and the ways in which doing anti-racist and advocacy work has shifted her relationships and livelihood. Tanya Ali spoke to her ahead of her two appearances at Sydney Writers Festival this week.
This episode was hosted by Tanya Ali, with special guest Antoinette Lattouf. It was produced and edited by Shareeka Helaluddin.
