Description

What does it feel like to move through a world designed to limit and exclude you? What are the joys and pains of holidays for people of colour, when guidebooks are never written with them in mind? How are black lives today impacted by the othering legacy of colonial cultures and policies? What can travel tell us about our sense of self, of home, of belonging and identity? Why has the world order become hostile to human mobility, as old as humanity itself, when more people are on the move than ever? Nanjala Nyabola is constantly exploring the world, working with migrants and confronting complex realities challenging common assumptions – both hers and others’. From Nepal to Botswana, Sicily to Haiti, New York to Nairobi, her sharp, humane essays ask tough questions and offer surprising, deeply shocking and sometimes funny answers. It is time we saw the world through her eyes.

Media Reviews

'Reading Travelling While Black feels like engaging in a conversation that I have always wanted to have. … Inspirational, thoughtful and informative'


-- The World Today

‘Travelling While Black is a defiant and beautiful book that awakens one's sense of empathy by unpacking dehumanising notions of the other established by the hierarchical social world order.’

-- Africa Spectrum

'Travelling While Black constantly urges us to look beyond the self, to larger historical acts, to contextualise our, and others’ lives. All this without losing sight of our humanity.'
