**THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** Where are you really from? You’re British. Your parents are British. You were raised in Britain. Your partner, your children & most of your friends are British. So why do people keep asking you where you are from? Brit (ish) is about a search for identity. It is about the everyday racism that plagues British society. It is about our awkward, troubled relationship with our history. It is about why liberal attempts to be ‘colour-blind’ have caused more problems than they have solved. It is about why we continue to avoid talking about race. In this personal & provocative investigation, Afua Hirsch explores a very British crisis of identity.

We are convinced that fairness is one of our values, but that immigration is one of our problems. Brit (ish) is the story of how & why this came to be, & an urgent call for change. ...
