AWW22 This is Australia - Claire G. Coleman and Julianne Schultz
Chaired by Kerry O'Brien.
\nTwo deep thinkers and fine writers turn their minds to contemporary Australia. In Lies, Damned Lies: A Personal Exploration of the Impact of Colonisation, Claire G. Coleman gives us insight into the stark reality of the ongoing trauma of Australia\u2019s violent colonisation. Julianne Schultz\u2019s The Idea of Australia: A Search for the Soul of the Nation interrogates what defines us as a country. It tracks the contest between an imaginative and defensive country, and what we must do to become our best selves.
