As an Indian-American woman, Sandeep Kaur spent much of her youth holding prejudice against the Black community, unaware of her own anti-Blackness until she left her marriage and walked away from her Punjabi community.
Her book, Love & Prejudice: Unlearning Anti-Blackness as a South Asian, dives into the origins of anti-Blackness in the South Asian community and tackles ‚what-about-me‘ arguments people-of-color use when discussing anti-Blackness.
In the book, you’ll encounter narratives that discuss:
- Colorism and the layers of anti-Black prejudice that are embedded in South Asian culture
- The gaps the author had in her own understanding of Black history in America
- The racial divisiveness of the myth of the model minority
- How the dissolution of the author’s marriage to an Indian man was the catalyst for her personal evolution
Love & Prejudice seamlessly weaves together history, sociology, and love, showing readers the depth of influence that culture and community can have on one’s perception of the world. By sharing her personal journey of growth, Sandeep Kaur educates and empowers readers to challenge their own anti-Black beliefs, showing them the joy and love that can be found on the other side of prejudice.
