Living in a Life Jacket

Norwegian title: Et liv i redningsvest

Sumaya Jirde Ali

Life in a Life Jacket is a deeply personal book, shaped as a coversation between author Sumaya Jirde Ali and her younger self. Jirde Ali raises sentral questions about racism, how it works and what it leads to, even if it comes in small doses, when those doses come each and every day. It's a touching and thought-provoking text that will refuse to leave any reader unaffected.
