Book Synopsis

''A powerful, salient and gracefully written study of the corrosive dynamics of race in Britain from a trusted voice on the subject. We can all benefit from reading it'' Diana Evans

In this transformative book, Nicola Rollock, one of our pre-eminent experts on racial justice, offers a vital exploration of the lived experience of racism

Miles, a successful lawyer, is mistaken for the waiter at a networking event. Femi is on the verge of breakdown having been consistently overlooked for promotion at her university. Nigel''s emails, repeatedly expressing concern about his employer''s forthcoming slavery exhibition, are ignored. Carol knows she can''t let herself relax at the work Christmas party...

This is racism. It is not about the overt acts of random people at the fringes of society. It''s about the everyday. It''s the loaded silence, the throwaway remark, the casual comment or a ''joke'' in the workplace.

It''s everything.
