Houve um texto ou outro que achei menos interessantes, mas no geral é um livro incrível com testemunhos muito importantes de partilhar.
Very good. I would like to read an update from all of the writers, especially since we have had brexit and Trump since.
I don't know how to review this book. Some of the essays are full of footnotes, others are a causal chat. Some are funny, some heartbreaking. All burn with (righteous) indignation.

This is a superb collection of essays. Read it.
Every single essay was an eye-opener. I suspect there are certain essays I'll be going back to time and again.

Himesh Patel talks about how British media doesn’t reflect the diversity of our society and how his role in Eastenders has spoken to so many, making a point for better representation. Riz Ahmed recounts the many times he has been detained in airports, but managing to maintain his sense of humour. Sabrina Mahfouz talks about cultural appropriation and being challenged for what she chooses to wear. Darren Chetty tells us about the children he teaches that think stories should be about white people. Repeatedly we see how BAME citizens are expected to try harder, just to keep up, to be accepted. As always, there’s going to be a few essays that aren’t as good as the others but overall worth a read.
