How do the memoirs of two very different authors explore the themes of identity, social structure, exploitation, adaptation, and success? 

Between them, the discussion moderator and the authors owe strong or weak allegiances to several diverse cultures..  

Racism, colonialism, oppression by people who are supposed to be one's own, mental health, and wider issues, all come within the ambit of this discussion.
