Speaking out on Gaza: Australian creatives and arts organisations struggle to reconcile competing pressures - by Walter Marsh
'...Nam Le, the newly crowned book of the year winner at the New South Wales Literary awards, asked a Sydney audience whether the “goal of multiculturalism should be coexistence or cohesion”.
“If cohesion, how do we make sure that ‘social cohesion’ doesn’t become ‘social coercion’ – a means of preserving the status quo, of preserving power?” Le asked, in a speech delivered by his manager.
Like De Kretser’s, Le’s words would only become more pointed as the week progressed.
“What good is harmony if it only and always exists on terms dictated by power? If it’s built on injustice, or enforced civility – enforced silence?”'

Y también te das cuenta de otras padres de la historia que, si bien no se ocultan no se habla mucho de ellos, como la obesidad generalizada (prácticamente todos lo testigos que hablan siempre son obesos), el fanatismo religioso o el impacto de los medios y el amarillismo.
