MUTED COLOURS

Uncovering Internalized Racism on the Journey to Reclaiming Racial Identity

Racism. It’s a word we hear thrown around in accusation, in defense, as a pin in a grenade that threatens to blow up society as we know it. What does it mean for BIPOC? Can a racialized person be racist?

Muted Colours uses the stories of fourteen racialized women to provide an insightful look into the concept of internalized racism and how it impacts life and identity. Racialized readers will learn language to name their experiences and recognize the biases they’ve been socialized to hold. White readers will gain a better understanding of how racism impacts racialized folks on personal and systemic levels. The final chapter provides self-reflection questions and concrete strategies for unpacking and reducing implicit biases, and actionable ways to combat racism in everyday life while working towards a more just society.

Muted Colours powerfully strengthens our understanding of inter­nalized racism and invites us to embrace our racial identities.
