The Skin We're In by Desmond Cole takes you from one January to another by documenting racism, historical and ongoing, and its impact on Black people in Canada. I used to think about journalistic objectivity in a different way before I got to know of the writer's work + his experiences. I found the book very relevant with the ongoing discussion on BLM, abolition, journalism vs activism, Canada's military and white supremacy, honouring Indigenous treaties, & (as seen in the recent arbitration decision by Lorne Slotnick) who gets to follow codes of conduct of newsrooms.
