Writers talking. 1: Desmond Cole on The Skin We’re In.

From now until January 11, Writers Talking - a series of eight conversations from our archives.

In his first book, The Skin We’re In, journalist and activist Desmond Cole challenged the complacency of people who believe Canada is a post-racial nation. He chronicled one year in the struggle against racism in this country. In March 2020, Desmond Cole joined Lorraine Chisholm in the Coop Radio studios for a lively and engaging conversation about the realities that Black people face every day in Canada.
