ALMOST BRITISH Revisted

"...I was saddened to read about the differential treatment of a senior Black manager in the Prison Service...Even when we suffer great loss, the fight continues...I think Olivea’s voice needs to be heard. She had to change her name to Nairobi Thompson – just to be heard!"

 

Baroness Lawrence of Claredon

Dr Karl George MBE. Thought Leader, International Speaker and author of the RACE

"Almost British – Revisited is one of those books that draws you in at the very beginning and compels you to read to the end. I couldn’t put it down...this is essential reading for anyone who needs to understand institutional systems of oppression in the workplace."

Nadine White UK’s first Race Correspondent

"One of the most important books to be written this century"

Arthur Torrington CBE Director, Windrush Foundation

"Almost British – Revisited has shown us how racism works with little hindrance in our institutions, and how it still harms and destroys lives...This book should be on every reading list for community advocates, and in every library."
