Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging Audiobook (Free)

Random House presents the audiobook model of Brit(ish): Why We have to Talk About Competition written and go through by Afua Hirsch.

Afua Hirsch is Uk. Her parents are British. She grew up, informed and socialised in Britain. Her partner, child, sister and almost all her close friends are British. Why is her identity and sense of belonging a subject of debate? Associated with simply because of the color of her pores and skin.

Blending history, memoir and individual experiences, Afua Hirsch reveals on the subject of Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging the identity crisis in the centre of Britain today. Definately not affecting only minority people, Britain is usually a country in denial about its past and its own present. We believe we will be the country of abolition, but forget we will be the country of slavery. We sit down proudly on the apex of the Commonwealth, but we flinch from the legacy from the Empire. We are convinced that fairness is one of our ideals, but that immigration is certainly one of our problems.

Brit(ish) may be the story of how and why this came to be, and an urgent demand change.

‘Brit(ish) is a wonderful, important, courageous publication, and it could not become more timely: an essential and necessary point of research for our stressed age in a nation that seems to have lost it is bearings. It’s about identification and belonging in 21st-century Britain: personal and troubling; forensic but warm, funny and sensible.’ – Philippe Sands
