EP 74: Reclaiming Black in Australia

Who is Black in Australia? Journalist Rhianna Patrick explores the question ‘why do I call myself Black?’ It’s complicated. Rhianna, an Indigenous reporter living down under introduces us to people who answer, what defines Black in Australia? We meet Dr. Jackie Huggins who digs into the history of Indigenous peoples’ relation to Blackness, artist/journalist Daniel Browning explains why some young Indigenous people are identifying as ’Blak”- without the ‘C’“, and Aurora Liddle Christie ponders her Jamaican-Indigenous Australian roots. Will Rhianna get any closer to understanding her use of the term ‘Black’?”
