xSearching for Racial Equality:
An African Woman's Urgent Call to Be Antiracist
By Francisca Mandeya Ideally, no human being should have to "search" for racial equality because equality should be every human being's birthright. But in the real world, we know longstanding systems continue to perpetuate racial inequality. Part memoir, part call to action, in Searching for Racial Equality Francisca Mandeya takes readers on a journey from her birth in Zimbabwe (then racist, colonial Rhodesia), to Nunavut, some 10,000 miles away in the Canadian Arctic, a place she has called home for nearly a decade. In Mandeya's hands, her dark history coming of age in violent, racist Rhodesia, becomes not just a portal to follow an African woman exploring the root causes of racism-but also an urgent call to be antiracist. Relentless in her pursuit of racial equality, Mandeya transforms the trauma and adversity of her early life into an inspiring crie de coeur to work for racial justice. She believes the power of truth will not just set her free, but also will help liberate anyone willing to do the personal work of uprooting racism. Reviews
"Although we are of the same generation and from the same region of the planet (Zimbabwe, her; South Africa, me), Francisca and I had such radically different experiences. Her mission seems to be to understand other people and to sow seeds of love and peace, even in the face of generations of injustice. While my path was so much easier, thanks to my white privilege, it takes my breath away to witness her capacity to love and forgive given her life shattering experiences."
-Jacquie Somerville, New York Times best-selling author, coach and businesswoman "This courageous book is filled with sacred stories of resilience that illuminate our identities as racialized people. We can't heal from historical traumas, racial traumas and intergenerational traumas until we learn from the past. This book helps us to do just that."
-Shayla Dube, MSW, RSW, Canadian anti-oppression therapist, racial trauma consultant "Francisca Mandeya writes as the ancestor who has returned to earth to wake up those who are asleep. While history has glorified the colonizers' perspective, she speaks for the persecuted. This book offers solutions for dismantling racism, and moving towards liberation for all."
-June Kaewsith, founder of Your Story Medicine "Painful in some parts, Searching for Racial Equality lays out a roadmap to the future and a path to renewal-one that we can get to together. Truly a must read."
-Tracy Lamourie, renowned death penalty activist and businesswoman
