For Black people, the list of everyday activities that lead to racial aggression can feel endless: from driving to jogging, and birding to shopping. But blackness is about so much more. Based on her popular anti-racism blog, 'Race Reflections', psychologist Guilaine Kinouani writes about how racism influences wellbeing
Focusing on the profound effects of anti-black racism, this book delves into the experiences of individuals facing racial trauma. It combines personal narratives with insights to highlight the challenges of living as a Black person in today's society. Additionally, it offers practical strategies for healing and resilience, empowering readers to navigate and overcome the pervasive issues of racial discrimination.
In this powerful book, Kinouani uniquely examines the psychological and psychic factors involved in the reproduction of 'whiteness' and reveals how these intersect with race dynamics, race inequality and racial violence.
