Growing Up African in Australia : Racism, Resilience and the Right to Belong, Kathomi Gatwiri , single work review
— Review of Growing Up African in Australia 2019 anthology autobiography poetry ;

'For many African-diaspora people in Australia, belonging means masking yourself. To fit in is to curate one’s Africanness and one’s blackness. You teach yourself to see-saw between the splitting identities of who Australia needs you to be, and who you really are. You just never simply are.' (Introduction)
