Triggered by everyday forms of aggression, appalling events, and personal memories, these vibrant verses passionately summon us to dismantle the supremacy of the \"invisible race\" as well as any manifestation of bigotry, and to bring antiracist ideas and practices into the mainstream.\u003cbr\u003eThe poems, some of which are complemented by photographs in black and white, embrace Antiracism as a moral obligation, a liberating and empowering philosophy, and the key to envisaging a future based on social justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInsidious by design\u003cbr\u003eMy race pops up\u003cbr\u003eAt every corner\u003cbr\u003eIt might be invisible\u003cbr\u003eBut not innocent\u003cbr\u003eAnd hardly ever\u003cbr\u003eInnocuous\u003cbr\u003eA thought pushed back\u003cbr\u003eThe memory of an old fantasy\u003cbr\u003eA revealing glance\u003cbr\u003eAn unreflective comment\u003cbr\u003eThe way I own the space\u003cbr\u003eOr don't\u003cbr\u003eA picture taken\u003cbr\u003eA stupid assumption\u003cbr\u003eA vote cast too quickly\u003cbr\u003eA sense of entitlement\u003cbr\u003eA self-defensive response\u003cbr\u003eAn arrogant blindness\u003cbr\u003eSome sort of condescension\u003cbr\u003eMy sheer parenthood\u003cbr\u003eThe way I match the background\u003cbr\u003eOr don't\u003cbr\u003eMy silence\u003cbr\u003eInsidious by design\u003cbr\u003eAnd more\u003cbr\u003eMuch more\u003cbr\u003eThan the shades\u003cbr\u003eOf my complexion\u003cbr\u003eMy race exudes\u003cbr\u003eThrough all my pores\u003cbr\u003eAs centuries of supremacy\u003cbr\u003eHave gone deep\u003cbr\u003eIn shaping my identity\u003cbr\u003eBut I will not comply\u003cbr\u003eAnd you shouldn't\u003cbr\u003eEither\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sabrina Brancato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798527415544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Sabrina Brancato","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851571998975,"sku":"9798527415544","price":9.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/insidious-by-design-sabrina-brancato-9798527415544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
