Kelvin Confidential with guest Santilla Chingaipe
About
James Hewison's guest is Santilla Chingaipe. She is a filmmaker, historian and author, whose work explores settler colonialism, slavery, and postcolonial migration in Australia and will be launching her new book, “Black Convicts”. Santilla’s award-winning documentary “Our African Roots” is streaming on SBS On Demand; "Black Convicts" builds on the research for that, taking it further. The story of Australia’s Black convicts has been all but erased from our history. This deeply researched and illuminating book offers a fresh understanding of this fatal shore, showing how empire, slavery, race and memory have shaped this nation. Recognised at the United Nations as one of the most influential people of African descent in the world in 2019, she is a regular contributor to The Saturday Paper, and served as a member of the Federal Government’s Advisory Group on Australia-Africa Relations.“Black Convicts" will be for sale at the event with Paperback Bookshop, published by Simon & Schuster.
