This is a series of essays. I found them so insightful and the one connected to teaching a meaningfully diverse range of stories really powerful.
Would wholeheartedly recommend this to all teachers.
A mixed bag of personal stories about what it's like to be a BAME immigrant, first or second generation, in Britain today. There's humour, anger, frustration, contradictions but always honesty. It was a mixed read, too. Some pieces were inevitably better written than others and some messages were more hard hitting than others but overall I'd say it's an important, enjoyable, sometimes uncomfortable read.
