Whites: On Race and Other Falsehoods

English

By (author): Otegha Uwagba

An important, timely personal essay OBSERVER BEST BOOKS OF 2020
 
Not taking any bullshitsharp and stylishbrutal GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR

In this powerful and timely personal essay, best-selling author Otegha Uwagba reflects on racism, whiteness, and the mental labour required of Black people to navigate the two.

Presented as a record of Uwagbas observations on this era-defining moment in history that is, George Floyds brutal murder and the subsequent protests and scrutiny of institutional racism Whites explores the colossal burden of whiteness, as told by someone who is in her own words, a reluctant expert.

What is it like to endure both racism and white efforts at anti-racism, sometimes from the very same people? How do Black people navigate the gap between what they know to be true, and the version of events that white society can bring itself to tolerate? What does true allyship actually look like and is it even possible?

Addressing complex interracial dynamics and longstanding tensions with characteristically unflinching honesty, Uwagba deftly interrogates the status quo, and in doing so provides an intimate and deeply compelling portrayal of an unavoidable facet of the Black experience.
