I was taught to treat everyone the same. I don't see color. My parents voted for Obama. When white people have the opportunity to think and talk about race and racism, they more often than not don't know how.

In this adaptation of Dr. Robin DiAngelo's best-selling book White Fragility, anti-racist educators Toni Graves Williamson and Ali Michael explain the concept of systemic racism to young adult readers and how to recognize it in themselves and the world around them. Along the way, Williamson and Michael provide tools for taking action to challenge systems of inequity and racism as they move into adulthood.

Throughout the book, readers will find the following:
- A dialogue between the adaptors that models anti-racist discussions
- Definitions of key terms
- Personal stories from this multiracial team
- Discussion prompts to encourage readers to journal their reactions and feelings
- Illustrations to help concepts of white fragility and systemic racism come alive
- Portraits of scholars and activists, including Carol Anderson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Ijeoma Oluo, whose work is amplified throughout Dr. DiAngelo's theory of white fragility.

'Beautiful, haunting, thought-provoking ... A book I will return to again and again' Bernardine Evaristo

A gorgeously produced, hugely original examination of Black Britishness in the 21st century

What is Black Britain?

In 2021, award-winning poet Roger Robinson and acclaimed photographer Johny Pitts rented a red Mini Cooper and decided to follow the coast clockwise in search of an answer to this question. Leaving London, they followed the River Thames east towards Tilbury, where the Empire Windrush docked in 1948. Too often, that is where the history told about Black Britain begins and ends - but Robinson and Pitts continued out of London, following the coast clockwise through Margate to Land's End, Bristol to Blackpool, Glasgow to John O'Groats and Scarborough to Southend on Sea. Here, the authors found not only Black British culture long overlooked in official narratives of Britain, but also the history of Empire and transatlantic slavery to which every Briton is tethered.

Home Is Not a Place is the spectacular result of the journey they documented: a free-form composition of photography, poetry and essays that offers a book-length reflection upon Black Britishness - its complexity, strength and resilience - at the start of a new decade.
