This is Not America: Why We Need A British Conversation About Race with Tomiwa Owolade

In the rush to address racial inequality and prejudice, journalist and author Tomiwa Owolade asks us to pause and consider where we are looking for answers. He argues that traditionally Britain has taken its lead in the struggle from America, and that the crucial differences in history, national origin and class between these two superpowers is enough to prompt us to consider a new perspective in creating long-lasting and effective anti-racist agendas.
