Esuantsiwa Jane Goldsmith
About this listen
Illuminating her inner journey growing up mixed-race in Britain, Esua Jane Goldsmith's unique memoir exposes the isolation and ambiguities that often come with being ‘an only’.
Raised in 1950s South London and Norfolk with a white, working-class family, Esua’s education in racial politics was immediate and personal. From Britain and Scandinavia to Italy and Tanzania, she tackled inequality wherever she saw it, establishing an inspiring legacy in the Women’s lib and Black Power movements.
Plagued by questions of her heritage and the inability to locate all pieces of herself, she embarks on a journey to Ghana to find the father who may have the answers.
A tale of love, comradeship and identity crises, Esua’s rise to the first Black woman president of Leicester University Students’ Union and Queen Mother of her village, is inspiring, honest and full of heart.

It was tough to hear the casual racism that was endured by the author, and how lost she felt as she looked for her identity. I came away reflecting on my upbringing and how many prejudices I had to unlearn as I learned how wrong we were in the past.

Fascinating and informative.
My only negative is the accents, I don't know if it's just me, that struggles hearing someone narrate in a different accent.
Enjoyed
