Description
An incisive and deeply practical essay from the acclaimed author of Don't Touch My Hair.
Stop the denial
Stop the false equivalencies
Interrogate whiteness
Interrogate capitalism
Denounce the white Saviour
Abandon guilt
We need to talk about racial injustice in a new way—one that builds on the revolutionary ideas of the past and forges new connections.
In this robust and nuanced examination of race, class, and capitalism, Emma Dabiri draws on years of academic study and lived experience, as well as personal reflections on a year like no other. With intellectual rigour, wit, and clarity, Dabiri articulates a powerful vision for meaningful and lasting change.
