The Blurb On The Back:
Why is it important to talk about race?
How does it feel to experience racism?
Why does skin colour matter?
Talking about race is often discouraged, but in this book we’re aiming to bring everyone into the conversation. We explore the history of race and society and discuss how racist attitudes come into being. We look at belonging and identity, the damaging effects of stereotyping and the benefits of positive representation. We talk about why its important to identify and challenge racist behaviour, wherever it exists.
Together with contributions from a range of writers of colour, including Inua Ellams, Derek Owusu, Nadine Aisha Jassat, Asim Chaudhry, Wei Ming Kam, Chitra Ramaswamy and Becky Olaniyi, we talk about our experiences relating to race and racism and discuss why skin colour matters.
