Sam Zafar, hijo de inmigrantes analfabetas y fieles seguidores del Islam, le hizo una promesa a su hermano en Pisa: no equivocarse como él lo hizo, no terminar en la cárcel. Mientras vive en uno de los barrios más peligrosos de Ámsterdam, su amor por la música clásica y su sueño por convertirse en pianista terminan por convertirlo en el chico rechazado de su comunidad. Muchos pueden llamar a Sam el hijo modelo, pero su historia deja al descubierto los problemas culturales de la migración.

Leben wir im Patriarchat? Ist die Frage "Woher kommst du?“ ein Zeichen von Rassismus? Bedeutet Ungleichheit immer Ungerechtigkeit? Varnan Chandreswaran, Psychologe, Doktorand und YouTuber mit über einer Million Aufrufen, ist den hitzigsten Debatten unserer Zeit wissenschaftlich auf den Grund gegangen. Seine Erkenntnisse sind alarmierend: Der Trend zur Wokeness und der ständige Ruf nach politischer Korrektheit sind nicht nur wirkungslos, sondern richten einen erheblichen Schaden an. Junge Menschen werden zunehmend ängstlicher und unzufriedener.

Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies.

Multiple times a day, in cities across the US and beyond, a simple yet powerful message is repeated by the well-meaning, the ignorant, and the bigoted: “don’t go”—avoid at all costs those Black and Brown disinvested neighborhoods that have become bywords for social disorder and urban decay. This book is a collection of intimate stories that uncover the hidden influence of both subtle and overt “don’t go” messages and the segregation they perpetuate in Chicago.
