About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An incisive - and deeply practical - essay from the acclaimed author of Don't Touch My Hair

Stop the denial.

Abandon guilt.

Interrogate capitalism.

When it comes to racial justice, how do we transform demonstrations of support into real and meaningful change? With intellectual rigour and razor-sharp wit, Emma Dabiri cuts through the haze of online discourse to offer clear advice.

fluid beings and critical processing.

Emma Dabiri and Amartey Golding, two people articulating and processing what I have long felt but struggled to find voice with. Nuance over our existential need for certainty and thus categorisation, a sense of fluid, interactive and ever changing being in world that continues to hand us definitions, rather than tools (mostly).

Eye opening reading experience

As a Finnish reader from outskirts of Europe, this was very interesting. As having not that many people or other ethnicities or persons of color, this was very informative. Not mentioning, the way it was read. Fantastic, thank you🙏🏼

Eye-opening, insightful listen

Wow, I didn’t realise how misguided I was in the pursuit of racial justice and equity until I listened to this book. Like many, I had been duped into using the language of “ally” and now better understand how coalition is the goal. As someone who is not white, I still found this book helpful and informative.

With the wait

I had been impatiently waiting this book as I knew it would be good but my expectations have been exceeded. Once I started listening, I just couldn’t stop. It was as if I had a goof friend in the room with me and we were just having the most enlightening exchange of facts and ideas. Brilliant.

A must read!

An incredible, compressive education in history, culture, society. A deconstruction of what we think we know.

Great book with a key theme for our time

This is a great book if you're interested in getting a brief understanding of the context and history of racism in Western culture and what you can do about it. Emma's objective viewpoint from her own background and research is like a voice of reason, gently reminding us we still have some control of our future in this world of conditioned madness.

The Balance

A well crafted book providing the necessary push towards nuance for its readers, regardless of their current knowledge of what they deem to be true in all things progressive in the discussion of 'race'.
