Recenzje

I really enjoyed reading the different angles and stories in this book on the experiences of being mixed-race in a society where we are all racialised as white, black or a bit of both ... An important and welcome addition to the ongoing conversation about who we are in this society ... current, informative, thought-provoking. Bernardine Evaristo, Winner of the Man Booker 2019 (Girl, Woman, Other)
