,From the beginning of Memories and Elephants: The art of Casual Racism Meaghan gains your attention; she is a natural storyteller. A racist dog! the enigma of head lice, a ridge called Fairy Dell, forgotten ceremonies in the Mallee scrub at blackfellers hill. Powerful personal accounts, hefty topics (like elephants), unconscious bias, white privilege, stereotyping, suicide, and identity delivered in an easy-to-read, confronting yet at times humorous book. An original memoir, a great resource for discussion and reflective practice. "What's not to love"‘

Booktopia Review

‘This book so cleverly, with humour and a light touch, takes us from the deeply personal to the broader topic of racism and inequality in Australia. Growing up in the same Sunraysia area in the mid 20th century I, like many white children, was pretty much unaware of an Aboriginal presence, inequalities and any rights to land, let alone the effects of discrimination and racism. A great book to give to help people understand and open their minds to what has occurred before and is still happening in our country’.

Booktopia Review

‘Made me laugh. Made me cry. Read in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down!

This is an emotionally honest account of a life that, unfortunately, is very relatable. What an eye opener for someone who thought their eyes were open!’

Good Reads Review

‘This book is so beautifully written- it takes you on an exhilarating journey. The lived experience of the author is so raw and powerful. The white privileged drawn out in the chapters is stark. The discomfort is real and necessary’.
