MEDIA REVIEWS
I really enjoyed reading the different angles and stories in this book on the experiences of being mixed-race in a society where we are all racialised as white,black or a bit of both...An important and welcome addition to the ongoing conversation about who we are in this society...current,informative,thought-provoking.Educational for even the most racially aware,without being condescending. A must-read guide for mixed-race families and relationshipsAn essential read. Packed with thought-provoking interviews and practical advice,Natalie and Naomi have created a necessary piece of reading not only for those navigating the world as mixed-race but for us allA powerful and important read. It is one that challenges,interrogates,inspires and gives you much to think about and lots to act on. A book for anyone who truly wants to ask difficult questions of themselves,have deeper conversations with loved ones or colleagues and responsibly be a part of real changeAn essential,highly engaging,razor-sharp and deeply thoughtful body of work. Without reading this you will struggle to properly understand and appreciate our rapidly emerging future as a country
