The Hate Race stands as a profound exploration of the intergenerational struggle faced by Black and brown parents, tasked not only with survival, but searching for belonging and acceptance.

Best-selling, award-winning memoir by Caribbean-Australian writer Maxine Beneba Clarke, The Hate Race just had its theatrical premiere at the Malthouse on 28th February. It’s a play based on Maxine’s experiences growing up in Western-Sydney in the 80’s. Through vignettes, we see Maxine’s journey from primary school to high school, and how she navigates her very white world.

Avenues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to influence the very matters that directly affect their lives should have long been a given.
