Don’t miss Tessa Dooms and Lynsey Ebony Chutel at the Cape Flats Book Festival (5 Nov)
More about the book!

Tessa Dooms and Lynsey Ebony Chutel will be at the Cape Flats Book Festival to discuss their book Coloured: How Classification Became Culture.

Coloured as an ethnicity and racial demographic is intertwined in the creation of the South Africa we have today. Yet often, Coloured communities are disdained as people with no clear heritage or culture — ‘not being black enough or white enough.’

Coloured challenges this notion and presents a different angle to that narrative.

Dooms and Chutel will be in discussion with Nadia Kamies, author of Off-Centre and Out of Focus.
