The Problem with Black People: On Race, Identity and Systemic Oppression is a selection of writings by award-winning filmmaker and social justice activist Angelo C Louw. Spanning his 10-year career as a columnist, this body of work unpacks the intricacies of race and race relations in contemporary South Africa through an intersectional lens. Louw’s journalistic focus is on mainstreaming voices from the margins of society. He uses his debut book to redress misconceptions about race and inequality. In this excerpt, he wonders about the limits of what is defined as blackness.
