'This is a book for the future: it gives us exactly the tools we
need to dismantle racial injustice in our society' Baroness Doreen
Lawrence '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 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.
