The Skin We're in: A Year of Black Resistance and Power by Desmond Cole

5.0

Racism is often glossed over in Canada. We look across the invisible border that separates Canada from the USA and we think that it's a truly different place. The author illustrates the constructed social frameworks that encourage and uphold racist behaviour in Canada.
Throughout this novel I was thinking of all of the adults in my life that need to read this book. I would recommend it to all of our parents and grandparents who need to see it to believe it.
We have a lot of work to do to eliminate racism in Canada, the first step is acknowledging the problem in the first place.
