Produktbeschreibung

'Resounds with all the energy and enthusiasm of a man on a lifelong mission . . . This is a book for our time' The House Magazine 'A must-read for anyone trying to understand race, racism and social mobility in Britain today' Munira Mirza, CEO Civic Future 'As a black Briton with Caribbean heritage, this book spoke to my heart' Katharine Birbalsingh 'A game changer . . . Tony Sewell debunks the myths without ignoring the harsh facts of the black experience in Britain, and shows how we are all moving forward. Excellently researched and deeply motivating' Michael Dobbs, author of House of Cards In this truthful and often surprising book, Tony Sewell weaves together memoir and argument to explore the drivers of black success. He traces black people's hard-won achievements back to their source: family, education, hard work, discipline and the property market. He argues in favour of rejecting victimhood and low expectations and embracing high ambitions, drawing on a range of interviews and stories to offer a more exciting, sometimes visionary, new view of black life in Britain today. Five Star Reader Reviews 'Inspiring, uplifting and excellently written' 'The recipe for success ... A call to the Black British community to focus on where we want to go' 'Essential reading ... It gets five well-earned stars from me.

He was recently chair of the UK's government's Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, the recommendations which are now the foundations of the government's policy on tackling racial inequalities.
