5 Books About Race on College Campuses Every Student Should Read

Eternity Martis, a Black Toronto-based journalist and senior editor at Xtra, delves into her personal experiences as a nonwhite person studying at her alma mater, Western University, a predominantly white university located in London, Ontario. During much of her undergraduate years, Martis was subjected to overt forms of racism such as blackface at dorm parties and hearing racial slurs thrown around in public and in academic settings. They Said This Would Be Fun: Race, Campus Life, and Growing Up is a heartfelt and realistic memoir about navigating predominantly white spaces as a person of color and challenging systemic issues within the college experience.
