The good Ally: a guided anti-racism journey from bystander to changemaker (Improver)
A guided anti-racism journey from bystander to changemaker.
The Good Ally is an urgent call to arms for those against racial injustice. It is a guided anti-racism journey curated by writer, thought-leader and TED speaker Nova Reid, who invites you to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, so you can truly disrupt racism and anti-blackness.
It is for those who not only want to be able to better recognise both subtle and overt forms of racism in action, to examine their powerful role in it, and want to know what to do about it. The answer often lies within.
Packed with searing research and case studies - some toe-curling, some blood boiling - The Good Ally reveals the true meaning of allyship and shows how, with knowledge, self-interrogation and a lot of courage, you can move from bystander to changemaker be part of powerful change.
In the first week of publication The Good Ally was a bestselling book on Amazon, Bookshop.org on Hive and was selected as a best non-fiction book of the year by Waterstones in December 2021.
The Good Ally is currently available in all good bookstores in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, The Caribbean and English speaking European countries. If you don’t see The Good Ally in your favourite local bookstore or library - just ask your retailer to stock it!
