| Summary: | The Race Conversation coherently articulates what the mind and body of the people of colour experiences in spaces; it exposes several defences that people of colour build up to protect themselves from as follows: being treated as less than and the feeling of shame that comes with it. Secondly, voices that are silenced and prevented from truly expressing opinions and authenticity, and thirdly, the painful burden on the body. In the authors initial exposition ‘Who I am’ (page 22), Ellis described himself as a young person 'who felt fear much of the time and a kind of unease' (page 23). |
