Autor Jimmy Stokes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 iun 2023
Algy Foster and Graham Murrell grew up in the diverse and vibrant community of Tiger Bay, a world-renowned neighbourhood in Cardiff. Algy's parents were part of the Windrush generation, immigrants from the Caribbean who made their home in the Docks area of Cardiff. Graham's grandfather, who also immigrated from Barbados in order to fight in the First World War, married a Welsh woman who owned a boarding house in Tiger Bay. Both men, who are of black and mixed-race heritage, respectively, have faced racism and prejudice throughout their lives. As they near the end of their careers in education, they set out on a journey to uncover the root causes of prejudice in society. Blood on Their Hands is a fictionalized account inspired by the real-life experiences of Algy and Graham, offering a unique and thought-provoking perspective on contemporary political debates around race and inequality.

Notă biografică

Jimmy Stokes spent his working life teaching and trying to resolve young people's problems. Having worked with secondary pupils in a variety of schools, Jimmy strived to ensure that each one aspired to fulfil their potential. During his career, he worked with pupils from ethnic minorities. He recognised that outside influences could prevent these students fulfilling their potential. Understanding this problem led to him ensuring that these youngsters received the appropriate level of help to do justice to their future prospects. Disappointingly throughout a long career, Jimmy only worked with one person of colour and this individual was a supply teacher. Blood on Their Hands is a novel which helps explain this dearth of people from ethnic minorities in the teaching profession and other walks of life.
