The Skin We're in: A Year of Black Resistance and Power by Desmond Cole
5.0
A work about Canada's present that doesn't suffer from goldfish brain about our past.
This is the indictment of Canada's white supremacy problem that everyone says it is. I would just like to add that what makes it so effective is that Cole refuses to succumb to the goldfish brain mindset that effects 97% of Canadian journalists, who go from story to story and forget what happened ten days ago. He even knows Canadian history, like beyond the Heritage Minutes. There aren't many people who do that and then take the time to explore its consequences publicly. Cole's made it his job to know. Our civic culture could use more people like him.
