Manifiesto

In 2019 Bernardine Evaristo became the first black woman to win the Booker since the award's creation fifty years ago. To achieve it, she had to go through a long journey, but she managed to succeed and make history. Manifesto is the intimate and courageous story that the author tells us about how she achieved it. From a childhood overshadowed by the racism of neighbors, priests and even some of her white relatives to the discovery of art through the youth theater group in her neighborhood; from the time when he kept his belongings in garbage bags, constantly moving from one temporary home to another, to the exploration of many of his romantic, toxic and loving relationships, with men and women, and, finally, the encounter with your soul mate; From starting the country's first black women's theater company in the 1980s to maturing into the writer, playwright, teacher, mentor, and activist we know today: Bernardine describes her rebellion against mainstream culture and her lifelong commitment to community and creativity. Through the prism of her extraordinary experiences, she provides us with pearls of wisdom about race, class, feminism, sexuality and growing up in Britain today. The life story of Bernardine Evaristo is a manifesto for courage, integrity, optimism, resourcefulness, and tenacity. It is a manifesto for those who have ever been on the margins, for those who want to leave their mark on history. It's a manifesto to be unstoppable.
