'It's disorienting, prevents you from forming an identity. And always, assimilate.'Īs described in this slightly genre defying novel, it doesn’t matter how much success she achieves, be it in her personal life or at work, nothing escapes the assumptions people make on the basis of her skin colour. This is how we prepare ourselves, teach our children to approach this place of obstacle after obstacle. No matter how well our protagonist does, how hard she works, how successful she is, it is never good enough. Making her way to the top of her London finance firm while on her way to a garden party at the home of her (white) boyfriend with his politically well connected parents and their old-money privilege, she reflects on a life recently and starkly contrasted by a cancer diagnosis.Īssembly is not only a poignant, thought-provoking account of what it means to be a black woman in Britain, it also draws an all important line to the strong legacy and heavy weight of British colonialism.
