Am I Black Enough For You? by Anita Heiss
4.0
This memoir covers both Heiss' experience as a "concrete Koori" living in Sydney, her life while maintaining a focus on her reaction to Andrew Bolt's attack on her identity and racial background and the subsequent legal proceedings.
The identity issues associated with being an urban Indigenous dweller are unpacked and explored with a relatable tone that is both appealing and educating. For me, the best part of this book is that it is easily read, there are some brilliant discussion points and as a soon to be high school teacher there are some great "teachable moments" that can be drawn from the pages.
