Ines
Berättelsen om Ines. Ett ovanligt liv för en kvinna i sin tid. En dotter som inte blev mamma men ändå lik sin mamma. Från armodets härd till lyx och flärd. Tur och retur i verklighetens fantasi. Från obligatorisk skola till arbetslivets frihet. Med en karriär som startar på sockerbageriet. Brickor ska hit och brickor ska dit, på klapprande högklackade skor över golvets grå granit. Ines far från bord till bord, i dagligt slit. Glömdes något på vägen, så inte var det med flit. Spill med kaffe, läsk och blask, fullt med smulor, syltgrädde och annat överblivet bakverks-snask. På sockerbageriets lilla gula fik, får inte en endaste rödrutig duk ha den minsta flik. Se nu till att varje dag blir bättre, och inte den förra lik, tyckte ägaren till bageriets fik. Servera mera till flera under leende mimik, så kanske du blir belönad när jag blir riktigt rik. Glada kunder på trevligt sätt och vis, och en och annan ur-snygg kis, väger jämnt mot de som bara ger ris. Men över den som klapp på servitrisens rumpa ger, kommer säkert en varm kaffekanna att vändas upp och ner. För där går gränsen för Ines tolerans, hut och skam, du får fika någon annan stans.

It's Not Banter, It's Racism
This is the story of how one cricketer in Yorkshire started a nationwide conversation, putting a spotlight on a society riddled with bias.LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024Green grass, blue skies, white flannels and the gentle thwack of leather on willow: the quintessential image of Englishness that heralds the start of the cricket season. A so-called gentleman's game developed with the principle of fair play at its heart. All well and true - unless you're a person of colour living in Britain today. Azeem Rafiq, the former Yorkshire cricketer and England youth captain, learnt this the hard way.When, on 16 November 2021, Azeem stood up and courageously spoke out about his experiences of racism at Yorkshire County Cricket Club he was coolly dismissed, told that it was "friendly banter" and that he was a troublemaker. The case blew up, and millions of people voiced their support for Azeem.It's Not Banter, It's Racism will provide a bracing look at the moments that led up to and defined the watershed meeting where Azeem shared his truth. As well as interviewing key figures involved in the case, Azeem illustrates how the continual denial of racism is sending us backwards as a society, and how pervasive polarisation has become. It is with great sensitivity and determination that Azeem will also unpack his own biases, while also building forgiveness and understanding with the communities he has impacted.Giving voice to the voiceless, Azeem's book stands for accountability and honesty in a world that would prefer to cancel and silence.
