Otegha Uwagba 'A nuanced and crucial dissection of race as a construct.' Yomi Adegoke, co-author of Slay in Your Lane 'An incredibly moving and honest account of self discovery... What a stunning debut!' Liv Little, gal-dem founder What do you do when your heritage or parentage has been obscured in a complex web of deceit? How can you discuss race with your family, when you each see the world differently? When a personal identity has been wrongly constructed, how do you start again? Raceless is both the compelling personal account of a young woman seeking her own story amid devastating family secrets, and a fascinating, challenging and essential examination of modern racial identity.
