What to expect
In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don't reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home.
Humane, empirical and passionate, this book promises to start a new conversation around race and, vitally, shed light on black British life today.
