Description
This Book Is Anti-Racist: 20 lessons on how to wake up, take action,
and do the work (1) (Empower the Future) ...
After examining the concepts of social identity, race, ethnicity and
racism, learn about some of the ways people of different races have
been oppressed, from indigenous Americans and Australians being sent
to boarding school to be 'civilized' to a generation of Caribbean
immigrants once welcomed to the UK being threatened with deportation
by strict immigration laws.Find hope in stories of strength, love, joy
and revolution that are part of our history, too, with such figures as
the former slave Toussaint Louverture, who led a rebellion against
white planters that eventually led to Haiti’s independence, and Yuri
Kochiyama, who, after spending time in an internment camp for Japanese
Americans during WWII, dedicated her life to supporting political
prisoners and advocating reparations for those wrongfully
interned.....
Black, Listed: Black British Culture Explored
These are just some of the terms being wrestled with in Black, Listed,
an exploration of twenty-first century Black identity told through a
list of insults, insights and everything in between.Taking a panoramic
look at global Black history and contemporary culture, this book
investigates the ways in which Black communities (and individuals)
have been represented, oppressed, mimicked, celebrated and othered.
Part autobiographical musing, part pop culture vivisection, it's a
comprehensive attempt to make sense of blackness from the vantage
point of the hilarious and insightful psyche of Jeffrey Boakye.....
Finding Me: A Memoir - AS SEEN ON NETFLIX ON OPRAH + VIOLA
This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode
Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I
took to finding my purpose and my strength, but also to finding my
voice in a world that didn't always see me.As I wrote Finding Me, my
eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given
close examination. They are bogarted, reinvented to fit into a crazy,
competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone who is
searching for a way to understand and overcome a complicated past, let
go of shame, and find acceptance. For anyone who needs reminding that
a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the
courage to shed facades and be...you.

hope'.In her debut book, In Black and White, Alexandra re-creates the
tense courtroom scenes, the heart-breaking meetings with teenage
clients, and the moments of frustration and triumph that make up a
young barrister's life.
