I’ve been saying for years that the evils in American society, especially in regard to racial injustice, can be traced back to greed. Dr. Foley takes that statement and backs it up more succinctly and factually than I have ever managed. A quick and informative read, “The Anti-Greed Gospel” is an essential addition to the library of every activist fighting for social and racial justice.

Description: A copy of Dr. Foley’s “The Anti-Greed Gospel” rests on Caera’s desk. The book cover features the title in large red, white, and green text on a black background, and the green text has dollar print underlay.

"This is a battle, quite literally, between freedom and slavery, life and death. It is that grave. It is a battle that no matter the odds must be fought."

"I concede we may not succeed. So be it. At least those who come after us, and I speak as a father, will say we tried.

"In the end, I do not fight fascists because I will win. I fight fascists because they are fascists."

It’s great to see the outrage against the US siding with the oppressor (Russia) against the oppressed (the Ukrainian people).

Just can’t help but wonder why the same outrage hasn’t been there for US support for the oppressor (Israel) in its live-streamed and ongoing genocide of the oppressed (the Palestinian people).

I can’t imagine what’s different about Ukrainians and Palestinians as people that might explain the huge disparity in empathy…

This is Why I Resist: Don't Define My Black Identity by Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, 2021

In 2020 we have seen clearer than ever that Black people are still fighting for the right to be judged by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin. In the words of the author, "there is no freedom without rights and no rights without the freedom to exercise those rights."

This book demands change, because Black people are done waiting.

In This Is Why I Resist activist and political commentator, Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu digs down into the deep roots of racism and anti-blackness in the UK and the US. Using real life examples from the modern day, Dr Shola shows us the different forms racism takes in our day-to-day lives and asks us to raise our voice to end the oppression. She delves into subjects not often explored such as racial gatekeepers, white ingratitude, performative allyship (those black squares on Instagram), current identity politics and abuse of the Black trans community. This book will challenge you. It will make you think. Bust most importantly, it will inspire you take action. It's time for a conscious revolution.

"Are you aware of how badly white men are discriminated against and put upon in this country? The only people who suffer an equivalent amount of discrimination are Christians, specifically white Christians, even more specifically white young male Christians."
