Moderate: Racial slurs and Racism
readingthroughinfinity's review against another edition
The book contains 21 essays by 21 different writers, actors, and comedians and all are accessible and engaging. Each writer contributes some of their experiences of being an immigrant, describing events such as racial profiling, mispronounced names, airport detainment, and being told to 'go back to where you came from'. This is a brilliant essay collection and one that I wish everyone in the UK would read, especially people who claim this country 'isn't racist'. This book shows that to be an entirely misplaced and untrue claim.
