alexsiddall's review
4.0
A telling book, which I wish I had read 30 years ago. It is an indictment of European racism as he visits various European and American places and experiences first hand the various forms racism takes.
There have been numerous improvements in our consciousness of our racism, but it seems to me these are more superficial than real: we can't say 'wog' or 'yid' in public any more, and sportspeople take the knee: but have we done anything other than drive prejudice below the surface? The evidence of structural and cultural racism is alive everywhere.
Recommended by Johnny Pitts in his excellent 'Afropeans'.
