Black is the New White
Nakkiah Lui
Charlotte Gibson is a lawyer with a brilliant career ahead of her. As her father Ray says, she could be the next female Indigenous Waleed Aly. But she has other ideas. First of all, it’s Christmas. Second of all, she’s in love. The thing is, her fiance, Francis Smith, is not what her family expected – he’s unemployed, he’s an experimental composer … and he’s white! Bringing him and his conservative parents to meet her family on their ancestral land is a bold move. Will he stand up to the scrutiny? Or will this romance descend into farce?
‘Nakkiah Lui’s writing is, as always, on point: hold-your-belly funny; pumping with politics that prompts visible discomfort.’ – Maxine Beneba Clark, Saturday Paper
