ぼくはイエローでホワイトで、ちょっとブルー

A Japanese mother talks about her life in the UK and about the experiences of her half-Japanese son at a former lower class secondary school. In doing so, she reflects on social issues and highlights racism and income discriminatory structures.

The author's reflections are all very thoughtful and interesting to read. Given the title, however, I would have liked to know more about her son's experiences beyond what was mentioned in between other subjects. Only the third to last chapter deals with how her son thinks about his own identity as a half-Japanese child.

The book introduced me to a lot of new vocabulary for talking about political issues and social problems. As my first non-fiction book at this high level, I am almost a little proud to have read it in "only" 4 weeks.
