Summary | "The anticipated debut by a biracial community leader and citizen activist, exploring his lived experience of systemic racism in North America and the paths forward. "My race duality has given me a unique perspective on both the black and white experience in Canada. I grew up in a white family, in white neighbourhoods, and attended schools with only a handful of black students and people of colour. Even though I was immersed in all aspects of white society, the colour of my skin defined my racial identity. It still does. No matter the fact that I am 50 percent white, I am seen as black man ... To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr., I wanted to be judged not by the colour of my skin but by the content of my character."--Back cover. |
