The Skin We're In: A Year of Black Resistance and Power by Desmond Cole, read by the author

Do you believe that racism isn’t a problem in Canada, or that it’s a relatively benign issue compared to racism in the United States, or other countries? If so, Desmond Cole may change your mind. Cole’s stories about his personal experience of anti-Black racism made me uncomfortable at times, but that's a good thing. I felt compelled to reflect much more critically on my previous assumptions about where I live, Toronto, and its supposed multi-cultural, post-racial ideals. I highly recommend you buy Cole’s book or audiobook, and support Cole’s ongoing activism, and his influence on the public conversation about racism in Canada.Report: An Online Environmental Scan of Right-wing Extremism in Canada: https://www.isdglobal.org/isd-publications/canada-online/Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50640342-the-skin-we-re-inAudio production by Graham StephensonEpisode music: Caprese by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue).
