Racism is an Australian anthology of contemporary writing on racial violence, fear, exclusion, casual cruelty, inheritance, and the social machinery that allows bigotry to keep reproducing itself. 

It is especially interested in racism as lived texture: not only spectacular hate, but the small degradations, inherited scripts, ethnic stereotypes, “harmless” jokes, white curiosity, migrant family pressure, and the absurdity of being made representative of a category you did not choose. It is composed of a deliberately uneven mix of registers: realist prose, comic grotesque, discomfort, testimony, and sharper experimental/social writing. A strong one for readers of contemporary Australian writing, anti-racist essays and fiction, Sweatshop, Western Sydney literary culture, diaspora writing, race and identity, and anthologies that want to agitate rather than politely educate.
