Am I Black Enough For You?: 10 Years On by Anita Heiss
The story of an urban-based high achieving
Wiradyuri woman working to break down stereotypes and build bridges
between black and white Australia.
I'm Aboriginal. I'm just not the Aboriginal person a lot of people want or expect me to be.
What
does it mean to be Aboriginal? Why is Australia so obsessed with
notions of identity? Anita Heiss, successful author and passionate
advocate for Aboriginal literacy, rights and representation, was born a
member of the Wiradyuri nation of central New South Wales but was raised
in the suburbs of Sydney and educated at the local Catholic school.
In this heartfelt and revealing memoir, told in her distinctive, wry
style, with large doses of humour, Anita Heiss gives a firsthand account
of her experiences as a woman with a Wiradyuri mother and Austrian
father. Anita explains the development of her activist consciousness,
how she strives to be happy and healthy, and the work she undertakes
every day to ensure the world she leaves behind will be more equitable
and understanding than it is today.
