Raceless
By Lawton, Georgina
From The Guardian's Georgina Lawton, a moving examination of how racial identity is constructed - through the author's own journey grappling with secrets and stereotypes, having been raised by white parents with no explanation as to why she looked black.Raised in sleepy English suburbia, Georgina Lawton was no stranger to homogeneity. Her parents were white; her friends were white; there was no reason for her to think she was any different. But over time her brown skin and dark, kinky hair frequently made her a target of prejudice. In Georgina's insistently color-blind household, with no acknowledgement of her difference or access to black culture, she lacked the coordinates to make sense of who she was.It was only after her father's death that Georgina began to unravel the truth about her parentage - and the racial identity that she had been denied.

Retracing the Iron Curtain
By Ph.d, Timothy Phillips
Across 3,000 miles and over eight decades, this epic new people's history of the Cold War makes eye-opening sense of a defining 20th-century conflict - and how it continues to shape our world today. Initially a victory line where Allies met at the end of World War Two, the Iron Curtain quickly became the front of a new kind of war. It divided Europe from north to south for a staggering forty-five years. Crossing it in either direction was always a political act; in many cases, it was a crime to even talk about doing so. New generations have grown up since these borders came down, freed from the restrictions of the Cold War era. But what has the Iron Curtain left in its wake? Timothy Phillips travels its full 3,000-mile route - from inside the Arctic Circle to where Armenia meets Azerbaijan and Turkey - to craft this epic new people's history of a defining 2oth-century conflict.
