The Skin We're In: A Year of Black Resistance and Power
A bracing, provocative, and perspective-shifting book from one of Canada's most celebrated and uncompromising writers, The Skin We're In will spark a national conversation, influence policy, and inspire activists.
The Skin We're In is destined to become a vital text for anti-racist and social justice movements in Canada, as well as a potent antidote to the all-too-present complacency of many white Canadians.
"Cole's unflinching, courageous and confrontational book addresses systemic racism in Canada directly, refusing to allow its readers to look away or remain complacent." -- Quill & Quire
