Shame On Me: An Anatomy of Race and Belonging by Tessa McWatt

Powerful and provocative.
Sunday Life

Her prose is lyrical and haunting ... McWatt forcefully demonstrates how we all have a stake in dismantling the status quo and creating new paths towards true freedom: “a place outside both the master’s house and the field”. Shame on Me is a tale of our time, yet also timeless.
Shu-Ling Chua, The Saturday Paper

Beautifully written, profoundly moving, and deeply reflective.
