Despite the UK's long history of racial injustice, people from
minoritised groups have fought back, engaging in advocacy,
activism, and every-day acts of resistance to create positive
change. This anthology is a prize-winning collection of these
stories, spanning generations, cultures, and communities. They tell
of subtle everyday acts of resistance like cooking traditional
dishes from recipes passed down from grandparents displaced from
their homelands, challenging microaggressions in the workplace, and
sending care packages to relatives in occupied states. They also
highlight bold and defiant rebellions such as building a successful
business from scratch and against the odds, making perilous
journeys, and fighting unlawful deportation. The fabric of these
stories is made up of resistance, but also of belonging. They
explore the complexities of feeling caught between identities as
well as the joyful freedom found in reclaiming and rediscovering
who you are. Full of humanity and bravery, this inspiring and
unique kaleidoscope of journeys speaks to how nuanced and personal
resistance against racism can be.
