Why Are People Racist?

What is racism? Does the colour of your skin matter? What can we do to fight racism in everyday life?

Part of growing up is about expressing yourself and voicing your own opinions about major issues, such as racism. It is also about making choices about things which will affect your life - now and later.

This book gives you clear, no-nonsense advice about racism. It examines what race is and explains why some people feel hostile to others with differently coloured skins or different religious faiths. You can read about how racism takes many different forms from the persecution of immigrants to bullying in school. Together with case studies and quotes from people with different experiences of racism, this book provides all the facts you need to make up your own mind about the subject.
