We Need to Talk... About Race
SPCK Publishing (Verlag)
9780281089437 (ISBN)
We need to talk... about race - in fact, following the murder of George Floyd and the global outcry since, it has almost become impossible not to.
But when Ben Lindsay began talking to his nine-year-old son about the content of his book, he paused: what was appropriate to share? What would help and not hinder?
This book is born from that place: a book that will give young adults the tools to better understand themselves, others and how they can understand the Church's past and pave the way towards a better future.
Featuring interviews with young black Christians including Guvna B, Femi Koleoso of Ezra Collective and Premier League footballer Eberechi Eze, this book will introduce young people to the history of the Church, help them explore the complexities of racial and ethnic identity today and empower them to build toward a brighter future.
The book is suitable for individual reading and small group or youth group study and would be a relevant resource for schools during Black History Month.
