Ed Crompton reviewed Brit(ish) by Afua Hirsch
Review of 'Brit(ish)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Afua Hirsh's search for people, place and belonging is something that I think you can relate to in some way without being mixed race or having a recent family history of migration. I found this book very helpful in empathising with people of racial minorities and recognising my own privilege as a white person. However, there were points where the thread of the argument Afua was making or the point of an interview she was conducting seemed to peter out and I missed any conclusion drawn.
