According to new data from YouGov, 40% of British adults have not read a single book in the last year, with the median Briton having read or listened to three. In a world where there are so many other distractions and forms of entertainment to choose from, fewer and fewer people are getting stuck into books – yet lots of us would like to be reading more. So we asked authors, booksellers and critics to choose the book they think you should read this year – even if you only read one.

That is not a typo. Part 23. Twenty-three! And still going... It turns out that understanding whiteness is a bigger task than I might have imagined. Listen, if you're new to this Substack, welcome. You've missed a bit, but this post will still be fully accessible, I promise you. I’ve made it free to read in full because it shapes some of the most vital and important ideas I have committed to the page. So read carefully, with an open heart and curious mind.

Primary Do all your colleagues feel accepted and equal at school? Take a little time to give it some thought… by When I started teacher training back in 2007, I was the only black student on my course. Armed with a tweed blazer, leather satchel and head full of bright ideas, I wasn’t going to let my minority status get in the way of making a difference – it was going to be just like the recruitment campaigns said it would be.

While using The Spice Girl’s ‘Wannabe’ as a doorway into a brief history of feminism, Boakye says,‘In a way, I’m breaking the rules of enjoying popular music by writing a book like this. I’m not sure if pop songs are meant to be analysed and turned into clever sounding essays’.

It’s an easy mistake to make: To see "Black History Month" (BHM) and think it’s a time to shine a light on a history that has been pushed into the margins of mainstream thought. In fact, that’s a pretty good summary of what the month sets out to do, hence why BHM enters the calendar with a sense of occasion and celebration. A fanfare, perhaps, for blackness that has been ignored, all year, so far. But this comes with problems, or at least, specifics that need to be defined.
