      Disorientation. With this powerful term, Ian Williams conveys the profound effects of racial encounters on racialized individuals, illustrating the jarring experiences that can arise while simply going about daily life. The repercussions can range from minor annoyances to life-threatening situations. Motivated by the police killings and protests of 2020, Williams recognized his unique perspective, shaped by his experiences in Trinidad, Canada, and the United States, where he navigated different racial dynamics. Drawing inspiration from James Baldwin's essays, he delves into pivotal moments, such as when a child first understands their racial identity, the traits of institutional whiteness, and the role of friendship in combating racism. He also examines the significance of a Black person's smile and the challenge of fostering accountability for systemic issues. Through these essays, Williams aims to engage a diverse audience committed to civil discourse on sensitive topics. By reflecting on both history and contemporary issues, he offers fresh insights, genuine emotions, and his remarkable gift for language, encouraging meaningful conversations about the future.
