HEARTLAND
JUNE 2024

MEMORIES AND ELEPHANTS
FEBRUARY 2024
Memories and Elephants: The art of casual racism is a thought-provoking collection of memoir-based essays that delves into the sociopolitical landscape of Australian society. Written by Meaghan Katrak Harris, these essays offer a unique exploration of the intersectionality of Australian culture, classism, racism, and identity.
Memories and Elephants invites readers to challenge the dominant narrative of Australian identity. It encourages us to think critically about the complexities of our multicultural society and the impact of casual racism.
