'A powerful, salient and gracefully written study of the corrosive
dynamics of race in Britain from a trusted voice on the subject. We
can all benefit from reading it' Diana Evans In this transformative
book, Nicola Rollock, one of our pre-eminent experts on racial
justice, offers a vital exploration of the lived experience of
racism Miles, a successful lawyer, is mistaken for the waiter at a
networking event. Femi is on the verge of breakdown having been
consistently overlooked for promotion at her university. Nigel's
emails, repeatedly expressing concern about his employer's
forthcoming slavery exhibition, are ignored. Carol knows she can't
let herself relax at the work Christmas party... This is racism. It
is not about the overt acts of random people at the fringes of
society. It's about the everyday. It's the loaded silence, the
throwaway remark, the casual comment or a 'joke' in the workplace.
It's everything. The Racial Code is an unprecedented examination of
the hidden rules of race and racism that govern our lives and how
they maintain the status quo. Interweaving narrative with research
and theory, acclaimed expert Nicola Rollock uniquely lays bare the
pain and cost of navigating everyday racism -- and compels us to
reconsider how to truly achieve racial justice.
