On first arriving, he was pleasantly surprised: the police treated him with respect and Black American culture seemed to be widely admired and celebrated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut in time, Tyree saw the darker side to Australia’s relationship with African American culture – a relationship that often tipped from admiration into fetishisation. The undercurrents of racism in Australia came into view, as did the ongoing struggles of Indigenous Australians against injustice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the USA shifted its place on the global stage through the rise of Trump, the Black Lives Matter Movement and a new era of political polarisation, Tyree watched from a distance and learned the unique joy and pain of migration. Balancing the insistent tug of home with the possibility of a new life, he explores this experience with nuance, self-awareness and kindness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the perspective that has been missing from the race discussion in Australia, one that considers how privilege and race can shift across time and borders\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e.
