This is part 1 of our new reading series on race in Australia and the struggle against it. Over the next 3 or so months Jon (@JonPiccini) and Dave (@withsobersenses) will be reading A New Britannia by Humphrey McQueen, White Nation by Ghassan Hage and The White Possessive by Aileen Moreton-Robinson.  In this episode we set out why we are doing this, our thinking at this point in time and briefly discuss what the White Australia Policy was and wasn’t and the whys and whynots.
We encourage all our listeners to read with us and join us in the discussion.
Correction: I mention Nelson Peery as being a member of DRUM/League of Revolutionary Black Workers. He wasn’t. You can find an interview with him about his life and works <a href="https://www.marxists.org/history/erol/ncm-7/peery-interview.pdf">here</a>
As for DRUM and the League you can find an interview with Darryl ‘Waistline’ Mitchell and Donald Abdul Roberts <a href="https://daily.jstor.org/league-revolutionary-black-workers/">here</a>
You should read <a href="https://hardcrackers.com/">Hard Crackers</a> and its recent offshoot (split?) <a href="https://gasoline-and-grits.org/">Gasoline and Grits</a> too
Insurgent Notes has a special issue dedicate to the life and works of <a href="http://insurgentnotes.com/">Noel Ignatiev</a>
