Know Your Place: The Politics of Identity




Sydney Writers' Festival show

Summary: Fatima Bhutto (The Runaways) and Elaine Castillo (America Is Not the Heart) have both supercharged literature with their nuanced, layered and passionate responses to questions of belonging. They join Roanna Gonsalves to discuss how the exploration of geopolitics and history in their work – in a global context, and closer to home – can be unwittingly reduced to ‘identity’, even though it’s far more complex and interesting than that.
