Publisher's Summary
"As uncomfortable as it is, we need to reckon with our history. On January 26, no Australian can really look away."
Since publishing his critically acclaimed, Walkley Award-winning, best-selling memoir Talking to My Country in early 2016, Stan Grant has been crossing the country, talking to huge crowds everywhere about how racism is at the heart of our history and the Australian dream. But Stan knows this is not where the story ends.
In this book, Australia Day, his long-awaited follow up to Talking to My Country, Stan talks about our country, about who we are as a nation, about the indigenous struggle for belonging and identity in Australia, and what it means to be Australian. A sad, wise, beautiful, reflective and troubled book, Australia Day asks the questions that have to be asked, that no else seems to be asking. Who are we? What is our country? How do we move forward from here?

Boring
Super repetitive. Same ideas with the same examples revisited over and over again. Could’ve been condensed to 2-3 hours.

The eminent Australian thinker
Stan Grant represents best of what Australia can be. His writing in this book is not overly complex, but the messaging and symbolism shrine through and are combined with endless references to a wide range of thinkers past and present that have informed his multifaceted and deep worldview.
Read this book and you will be better for it.
