Roots and Rebellion : Personal Stories of Resisting Racism and Reclaiming Identity Paperback / softback
by Various Authors
Edited by Jessica Kingsley Publishers
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
