A new book by Nicola Rollock, professor of social policy and race at King’s College London, tears up the template that most workplace books follow. The Racial Code: Tales of Resistance and Survival is startlingly effective as a primer for anyone interested in racial equity at work. It brings readers beneath the surface of things, to understand the complexity of the black experience of navigating the (often hidden) exclusionary practices built into our existing systems and structures.
Through fictionalised accounts of black British life, Nicola aims to show how things really work. She uses academic research and lots of data to make her points, but her fictionalised case studies read like short stories, highlighting “the complexity and fluidity of racism”.
