Overcoming Everyday Racism

I welcome this powerfully, insightful, thought provoking handbook. Long overdue and timely. From Self-acceptance to Purpose in Life are the fundamental tools we need to remain strong and proud! -- Suzanne Duval BEM, BME Mental Health Manager, Diverse Cymru Susan Cousins offers a fresh approach to thinking about racism. For BAME readers it's a vital self realisation approach which offers ways to explore identity and focus on wellbeing in order to thrive despite experiencing racism everyday. It has reached into my heart as a white women, helped me accept my privilege and recognise my clumsy attempts at understanding. Exquisitely written and simply brilliant. -- Professor Karen Holford, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Cardiff University While we have made some progress around how we attend to everyday discriminations, we also need timely reminders that there is still much to do. Cousins, in this superb text, offers challenge in a powerful but accessible way; not an easy task. This is a highly recommended work that should be read not only because of its own merit, but because it really makes us think. -- Dr Andrew Reeves, Associate Professor in the Counselling Professions and Mental Health A timely book in the current socio-political climate, adding to the collection of contemporary and academic work encouraging racial literacy. It explores real life and workplace situations many BAME people can identify with. It nurtures self-awareness and strategies to arm against the damaging implicit and explicit experiences of everyday racism. -- Kwame Opoku, National Black Police Association
