In this transformative book, Nicola Rollock, one of our pre-eminent experts on racial justice, offers a vital exploration of the lived experience of racism

Miles, a successful lawyer, is mistaken for the waiter at a networking event. Femi is on the verge of breakdown having been consistently overlooked for promotion at her university. Nigel's emails, repeatedly expressing concern about his employer's forthcoming slavery exhibition, are ignored. Carol knows she can't let herself relax at the work Christmas party...

This is racism. It is not about the overt acts of random people at the fringes of society. It's about the everyday. It's the loaded silence, the throwaway remark, the casual comment or a 'joke' in the workplace.

It's everything.

The Racial Code is an unprecedented examination of the hidden rules of race and racism that govern our lives and how they maintain the status quo. Interweaving narrative with research and theory, acclaimed expert Nicola Rollock uniquely lays bare the pain and cost of navigating everyday racism -- and compels us to reconsider how to truly achieve racial justice.

A powerful, salient and gracefully written study of the corrosive dynamics of race in Britain from a trusted voice on the subject. We can all benefit from reading it (Diana Evans)
This book has done more to help me understand the microaggressions that people of colour routinely face than any other. Nicola Rollock, one of the UK's foremost experts on racial justice, immerses us in the everyday lived experience of racism (Caroline Sanderson)
A forensic and no-nonsense unpacking of everyday racism and the often invisible 'racial rulebook' that dictates all of our lives. Rollock offers a simultaneously insightful yet accessible take on what the next steps in racial justice look like -- regardless of where you are on your anti-racism journey, this book offers something truly eye-opening in every chapter (Yomi Adegoke)
Using Nicola Rollock's own salient insight into Black British reality, The Racial Code unreservedly explores the Black experience through a series of vivid tales from modern life. Sharp and engrossing on every turn of the page (David Lammy)
Nicola Rollock brings together rigorous scholarship, personal experience, and immense empathy in this informative and insightful manual for surviving racism in contemporary Britain. Accessibly written and presented without sacrificing intellectual acuity, The Racial Code is an illuminating, painful but ultimately hopeful read that informs and inspires in equal measure. I wish I had the essential guidance and tools included in this book when I first arrived in Britain - I would have avoided much pain! (Sunny Singh)

Well structured and engaging way to present the idea of a racial code.
As a racialised white person this book challenged my thinking & has encouraged me to review my thoughts, behaviours & biases to seek to address the impact I may have on the minority groups. Challenging both myself & wider systems I am part of or work within I better recognise when & where I might uphold or break down the racial code.

Great to reflect upon.

The first book I have read in a long time that I completely understood. A good guide for ethnic minorities in the field of academia, study and career development.

Outstanding and inspiring

I enjoy books and authors who are open minded and definitely not ignorant. I found that book and the information in it educational but limited. There are many other people such as white others who face the same racial prejudice behaviours. What it seems to me is that the author is fixated on the racial biases towards people with a colour just because she is herself part of and the tongue used in the book comes across sharper than necessary especially when white others exist and they are much more different than white only (british, irish, rtc.) i think we should have respect to white others as well and not only people of colour or asians as the author mentions.

The fact that the book is centralised only on certain ethnicities and I find it limited.
