Coloured is a Culture, Not a Race

Tessa Dooms and Lynsey Chutel delve into their new book, “Coloured: How Classification Became Culture.”
They weave a tapestry of stories highlighting the unique experiences of coloured people in South Africa, probing the question: Is “Coloured” a cultural identity or just a racial label? With new political movements on the horizon, some are capitalising on coloured nationalism. Join us to understand the book’s roots and its role in shedding light on these complex narratives.
