Random House presents the audiobook model of Brit(ish): As to why We have to Talk About Competition written and browse by Afua Hirsch.

Afua Hirsch is Uk. Her parents are United kingdom. She was raised, educated and socialised in Britain. Her partner, girl, sister and almost all her friends are British. Why is her identity and sense of belonging a topic of debate? The reason is due to the colour of her skin.

Blending background, memoir and individual experiences, Afua Hirsch discloses about Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging the identity problems in the centre of Britain today. Far from affecting only minority people, Britain is definitely a nation in denial about its past and its present. We believe we are the country of abolition, but ignore we will be the country of slavery. We sit down proudly on the apex from the Commonwealth, but we flinch in the legacy from the Empire. We think that fairness is normally one of our values, but that immigration is among our problems.

Brit(ish) may be the tale of how and why this had become, and an urgent demand change.

‘Brit(ish) is an excellent, important, courageous book, and it could not become more timely: an essential and necessary stage of research for our stressed age inside a country that appears to have lost it is bearings. It’s about identification and owed in 21st-century Britain: close and troubling; forensic but warm, funny and wise.’ – Philippe Sands
