A compilation of poems about racism in the workplace and in childhood, including winning entries from the first Black in White Poetry Competition
This book is dedicated to all those who see and value the benefits of equality, diversity and inclusion, and who labour actively in whatever capacity within this field to help open the minds of those who are the reason why these poems have been written...
... a must read for anyone who wishes to understand the impact of racism, intentional or otherwise, through the words of those who experience it. Through the powerful poetry in this new book, you will vicariously experience what it means to be Black in a predominantly White world.Anna Kyprianou, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Middlesex University
It was bittersweet to read through all the experiences the talented poets who submitted their work for Black in White's first ever poetry competition have had of racism and discrimination both inside and outside of the workplace.Tia Miles, poet, and Black in White Poetry Competition 2021 judge
