reachant 's review for:

On Identity by Stan Grant

4.0

---

I read this essay on the same day I finished reading Australia Day, so it was almost a compendium to that bigger book, but it further clarified and expanded the ideas of identity that Stan puts forward. As a white person, I was so interested to read his take on the fact that white people never have to think about identity - I have never had to think about the fact I am white. And it did become somewhat uncomfortable, but that one line made me push through the thoughts of 'enough already'. A highly recommended read.
