"Naming Britain as my home wasn't always enough. It was as if the way I looked required a longer explanation."
Courtesy of our friends at Vintage books, here's writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch on her brand new book Brit(ish) - a powerful exploration of race, identity and belonging in Britain's past and present.
Born of Ghanaian and Jewish German descent, Hirsch is British through and through. But from a young age through to the present day she struggled to fit in in a nation purported to be inclusive and multicultural.
In this book, Hirsch narrates her search for identity and belonging - from lying at school to working in the public eye - in the process discussing Britain's colonial past, the problem with claiming 'not to see race', the intersection of class and race, and the ubiquituous question 'Where are you really from?'
At once deeply personal and systemic in scope, Hirsch's book is an broad-ranging, urgent addition to the discourse around race in the UK following recent books such as The Good Immigrant and Why i'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race.
