What if racism is not only a white problem? What if the same psychological forces behind racism also appear as tribalism, ethnic prejudice, and exclusion within African societies themselves?
After spending fifteen years living, studying, and conducting research in Germany, Ghanaian economist Moses Kupabado Mananyi reflects on experiences that challenged many assumptions he inherited about race, prejudice, and belonging. Black and White Racism is a deeply personal and philosophical exploration of the uncomfortable possibility that prejudice is a universal human tendency rather than the property of any single race, nation, or civilisation.
Through stories of life in Germany - as an African student, immigrant, researcher, and observer - Mananyi recounts encounters with kindness, suspicion, friendship, exclusion, mentorship, and unexpected humanity. He reflects on interracial relationships, migration, stereotypes, football, politics, identity, tribalism, and everyday experiences that complicate simplistic narratives about racism.
At the same time, the book turns inward toward Africa, asking difficult questions:
- Why do societies that condemn racism abroad often tolerate tribalism and ethnic exclusion at home?
- Why do people demand justice while reproducing prejudice against others?
- Why do positive experiences across racial boundaries rarely become public narratives?
- Why do human beings repeatedly divide the world into us and them?
Moving beyond ideology and blame, Black and White Racism argues that racism, tribalism, xenophobia, colourism, and identity-based exclusion may share common psychological foundations. The labels differ, but the underlying human impulses often remain strikingly similar.
This book does not seek to minimise racism. Nor does it seek to invert racial blame. Instead, it invites readers toward something more difficult: moral consistency, self-examination, and honest reflection.
Part memoir, part social critique, and part exploration of human psychology, Black and White Racism challenges comfortable assumptions about prejudice and asks readers to confront an uncomfortable truth:
The line separating prejudice from humanity may not run neatly between races or continents. It may run quietly through every society -and perhaps through every human heart.
For readers interested in racism, tribalism, African politics, identity, migration, psychology, intercultural relations, and the deeper roots of human prejudice.
