“Brown proposes a cohesive racial identity and politics for the millions of people from the Global South and provides a timely context for the frictions and anxieties around immigration and multiculturalism that have led to the rise of populist movements in Europe and the election of Donald Trump.

Brown is packed with storytelling and on-the-street reporting conducted ever two years in ten countries on four continents that reveals a multitude of lives and stories from destinations as far apart as the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines the United States, Britain, Trinidad, France, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Qatar, and Canada.” — Publisher.
