Bios & Bookmarks: Tessa McWatt

Bios & Bookmarks: Tessa McWatt

A weekly session featuring readings by, and conversations with, popular authors.

On Sunday 7 June 2020, we chatted with Tessa McWatt, winner of the 2020 OCM Bocas Prize for Non-Fiction. Her stunningly written “Shame on Me: An Anatomy of Race and Belonging” (Scribe Publications) directly confronts and explores questions of identity that keenly affect us, now and always.
