** On Race and What Comes Next
------------------------------------------------------------

**
Next week join 5x15 with Emma Dabiri & Beverly Daniel Tatum in conversation with Georgina Lawton - leading voices helping us to understand race today.

Academic, author and broadcaster Emma Dabiri is the author of the ground-breaking book Don’t Touch My Hair – which changed the conversation and led to changing regulations in schools and in the British army - highlighting why black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation. Now she has published What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition – an instant best seller which asks: when it comes to racial justice, how do we transform demonstrations of support into real and meaningful change? Incisive - and deeply practical - Emma Dabiri cuts through the haze of online discourse to offer clear advice. “Emma expertly outlines how the idea of race was constructed to bolster capitalism and explains how, in a divided world, unity and coalition are needed to create a future that works for everyone” Cosmopolitan.

Dr Beverly Daniel Tatum is an award-winning educational leader, best-selling author, and expert on the psychology of racism. She is the author of Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? – a mainstay on the bookshelves of American readers since 1997. Now substantially revised and updated, this influential bestseller has just been released in the UK for the very first time. It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of race. Beverly Daniel Tatum guides us through how racial identity develops, from very young children all the way to adulthood, in black families, white families, and mixed race families. Arguing that we live in a colour-silent society, the book helps us understand what we can do to break this silence, to have better conversations with our children and with each other about race, and build a better world.

Most recently, she hosted Radio 4's critically-acclaimed documentary 'Journeys into Afro-futurism’.
