Episode 4: Resisting Assimilation (with Nancy Denis)
from Race Matters Hosted by FBi Radio
Where were you when Kevin Rudd apologised to the Stolen Generations? This Wednesday marks 11 years since the day. On this week's episode of Race Matters, Sara shares her experience of the day, how far we've come, and how far we have to go. Sara and Darren are also joined by queer Haitian-Australian, actor, singer, dancer and all round powerhouse, Nancy Denis. You might remember her from her role in last year's production of The Rolling Stone, set in Uganda, where she plays the homophobic 'Mama' outing the man who impregnates her daughter, resulting in his death. Today, she talks modes of assimilation as a black woman growing up in white Australia, white fragility, and theatre moments that made her proud. Warning: strong language.
