From the publisher:

What does it mean to be white? Beyond just a skin colour, is it also a way of thinking? If so, how did it come about, and why?

In this book, drawing on history, personal experience and activist literature, the former footballer and World Champion Lilian Thuram looks at the origins and workings of white thinking, how it divides us and how it has become ubiquitous and accepted without challenge. He demonstrates how centuries of white bias and denial justified slavery and colonialism, and have reinforced norms and structures of oppression, limiting the roles and horizons of both non-whites and whites alike.

Crucially, while White Thinking is a critique of ingrained structural inequities, it calls for an inclusive approach to solving the problem, and aims to raise awareness and imagine a new world in which all of humanity is given equal weight.

White Thinking patiently demonstrates… how European societies, through their creation of Black people, also invented White people.’ Le Monde

‘Strikes another blow in his battle against racial stereotypes.’ La Vie

‘This book is not interested in repentance or white guilt but in the ability to face up to historical reality and to the fact that others might have a very different understanding of that history.’ Revue des deux mondes

‘He is almost unique amongst retired sportspeople, having left his old life behind him in the dressing room. Today, the activist has replaced the footballer.’ Libération

‘This wonderful book is as thoughtful as it is brave.’ Paul Gilroy FRSL FBA, founding Director of the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Race and Racism at University College, London


The author:

Lilian Thuram, born in Guadeloupe in 1972, had a prestigious international career in football for the French national team – World champion in 1998, European champion in 2000, World Cup finalist in 2006 – and played for elite European clubs such as Juventus and Barcelona. In 2008, he created the Lilian Thuram Foundation to educate against racism, and he has become a high-profile activist himself. He is the author of various non-fiction books.

My grandson loves these books!
Format: Hardcover
These books are a big hit with my grandson. They are full of facts about each animal and by comparing strengths and weaknesses determine which would overcome the other. He’s learning so much about animals’ behavior and survival skills.

Great books, but the Rumble book is the best!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
These books are great books and are filled with tons of mammal, animal, and insect facts. However, after buying several, I realized I was buying the wrong books. This is because we wanted the bracket based “who would win” books. They are the best ones! Apparently, the bracket-based books have “rumble” in the title. The pictures will show the difference. There are only two rumble books, 1 of which will be released Oct 7th.
