"I urge you to read, read, read too. I don't just mean read 'anti-racist' books. Black people cannot be reduced to our experiences of white racism; that's whiteness centring itself again.
But if you do want to better understand the interiority of black characters through books, read fiction. The most profound truths about the human condition are expressed there, and some of the greatest works of literature happen to have been written by black people".
Dabiri (2021)
"The Promised Land, (is) where you play a character whose story is not intrinsically linked to his race. In the Promised Land, I’m not a terror suspect, nor a victim of forced marriage. In the Promised Land, my name might even be Dave."
Riz Ahmed (2017) in The good immigrant. Paperback edition. London: Unbound.
