Shame On Me: An Anatomy of Race and Belonging by Tessa McWatt
informative
reflective
medium-paced
3.75
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
Tessa McWatt was asked ‘What are you?’ and she couldn’t answer the question. She wasn’t sure she belonged to a specific race having ancestors from four different continents.
She uses features like nose, lips, eyes, hair, ass, bones, skin and blood to discuss race based on what you look like.
Racism, colourism and belonging are explored in detail.
Think Natives by Akala but in addition to the UK, it also explored Canada.
Very relevant, very topical and very timely.
