1 The Whitest White Girl Prue Axam , 2019 single work autobiography
— Appears in: Growing Up African in Australia 2019; (p. 33-37)

'I was the whitest white girl ever. I grew up in the north-west of Sydney, in Eastwood. My family has been there for hundreds of years. After that we lived in Cheltenham, which is near Beecroft. I went to the same primary school my father went to. I went to primary school with the kids of people my parents had gone to primary school with. It was a very local experience. There was not a lot of diversity of any kind - or, at least, I didn't feel there was. I was a curious kid, so I did find that a little boring. ' (Introduction)
