Almost White tells the provocative and unsettling story of Kemora Baine, a Nigerian-born woman who rose through the ranks of British politics-not by embracing her identity, but by rejecting it. In speech after speech, she distanced herself from the country of her birth, painting Nigeria and immigrants like her as problems to be solved rather than people to be understood. This book unravels the psychology of internalized racism, the cost of self-denial, and the dangerous seduction of white validation in systems built to exclude. Through public betrayal, private alienation, and a silent yearning to belong, Kemora's journey reveals a chilling truth: whiteness is not a place you can arrive-especially when your skin keeps the receipt. Almost White is not just a portrait of a woman. It's a mirror held up to every Black person who's been told they must erase to succeed.
