Talking To My Country by Stan Grant

Part memoir and political cri de coeur, this book weaves the author’s family history and personal encounters with racism into a broader examination of Australia’s colonial past and the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous peoples. It confronts national myths, unpacks generational trauma and questions what true reconciliation would require, urging honest conversation, empathy and structural change. Lyrical yet urgent, it challenges readers to listen, reckon with uncomfortable truths and imagine a more just future.
