Too white to be Coloured, Too Coloured to be Black

Too White to be Coloured, Too Coloured to be Black is a hybrid narrative, blending memoir with social commentary and political analysis.Always in search of 'home',  the book tracks Lagardien's vast experiences of a deeply lived life, always against a backdrop of 'unbelonging' - first as a reporter in the turbulent 80s, to studying economics at the LSE, then achieving a doctorate at the University of Wales, to working as a speechwriter at the World Bank in Washington. A unique and brilliant read.
