Tackling Racism Together

About this book

This is a really useful and very practical guidebook on tackling racism in everyday life – including at school, when gaming, when watching or playing sport. The book is written in partnership with Show Racism the Red Card which works with young people using football to start honest conversations about racism, identity and respect.  

This book clearly explains what racism is, how it shows up, and how it affects people and the society we live in. It clearly explains terms such as unconscious bias, stereotypes and micro aggressions, and delves into the history of racism too. Throughout are practical tips to pull the reader in and help us understand that racism is everyone's problem – what can we actually do about it, what do we actually say if we see it happening? 

This book is clearly explained, easy to read and an accessible, practical guide that can be read cover to cover or dipped into. It’s also a kind of workbook of tips on what you can do or say in various scenarios to refer back to. The author is an experienced, sensitive guide taking us through difficult situations very wisely and deftly as well as sharing her personal experiences. The illustrations and layout make it even more useful and accessible.  

A great book for classrooms or home on how to challenge racism and build a more equal world.
