Description
Hugh Gent writes about power, public life and the ordinary pressures that shape Australian society. His work is grounded in a belief that people are not born divided; they are often made insecure, then taught to blame one another for the consequences of decisions made above them.In An Identity On Fire, Gent examines how housing, work, health care, education, aged care, media, foreign influence, corporate power and political fear have changed the way Australians see themselves and each other. His writing is driven by a deep concern for fairness, dignity and the systems that once promised ordinary people a stable life, but now too often leave them anxious, suspicious and exhausted.
Gent’s work does not treat anger as something to be dismissed. Instead, he asks where that anger comes from, who benefits when it is misdirected, and what kind of country Australia could become if it chose repair over blame.
