Join Victoria Festival of Authors and the Greater Victoria Public Library for a reading and moderated discussion with Stephen Dorsey, the author of Black and White: an Intimate, Multicultural Perspective on “White Advantage” and the Paths to Change.
A powerful blend of autobiography and social analysis, Black & White is an intimate excavation of systemic racism in North America, providing context on white privilege, which Dorsey calls “white advantage”. Offering concrete pathways to lasting social change, Black & White holds readers gently to account, appealing to the ally in all of us.
