Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like 'critical race theory' and 'intersectionality' are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world's dominant political power - America. But what if we've been looking in the wrong place? 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.
