Peter Carey on legacies of the past
Tom Sutcliffe with author Peter Carey, broadcaster Afua Hirsch and Dutch journalist Geert Mak.
The prize-winning novelist Peter Carey tackles head on for the first time the legacies of colonialism in his native Australia in his latest book, A Long Way From Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. He talks to Tom Sutcliffe about the damage and loss for the Stolen Generations.
The writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch believes Britain is also a nation in denial about the past and present, and argues it's time to talk more openly about race and identity.
The Dutch journalist Geert Mak once travelled the breadth of Europe to explore what it meant to be European at the end of the 20th century. He found countries struggling to understand the wrongs they had committed during the Holocaust, the Second World War and decades of dictator rule.
