This compelling book on anti-racism is essential reading for anyone who wants to do better.
Speaking directly to the reader, Frederick Joseph offers powerful reflections on his own experiences with racism. As a former "token Black kid", he now presents himself as the friend many readers need, touching on topics including cultural appropriation, "reverse racism" and white privilege.
Featuring interviews with figures such as writer Angie Thomas, content creator Toni Tone, and April Reign, founder of the #OscarsSoWhite movement, this book serves as conversation starter and tool kit, creating a timely and essential read for committed anti-racists and newcomers to the cause of racial justice alike.
- Frederick Joseph tackles the complex topic of racism and white supremacy with candour, passion and humour, providing white readers with a guide to being better allies and friends.
- The Black Friend could do for teens what books like Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race and Natives have done for adults, opening eyes to systemic problems and problematic behaviour, and providing readers with the tools to confront racism.
- Featuring interviews with fourteen prominent artists and activists including Angie Thomas, Toni Tone and Jemele Hill, this promises to be a broadly appealing resource on a much-needed topic.
