What White People Can Do Next with Emma Dabiri in conversation with Christina Collins Ar Féidir le Daoine Geala a Dhéanamh Anois – Emma Dabiri i gcomhrá le Christina Collins  In episode 13 of The Dingle Lit Podcast, Emma Dabiri talks about her new book What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition. Emma Dabiri is an Irish author, academic, and broadcaster. Her groundbreaking debut book, Don’t Touch My Hair, first published in 2019, formed from the frustrations of growing up as a person of colour in a very white Ireland. Born to a Trinidadian mother and black Nigerian father, her tight curly hair was a “constant source of deep, deep shame”, and a constant battle of straightening until she realised this fight against its nature didn’t sit well with her politics. Don’t Touch My Hair, a book is about why black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation, established Emma Dabiri as a voice to be listened to and a force to be reckoned with.   In her latest book, What White People Can Do Next: From Allyship to Coalition, Emma Dabiri outlines how the idea of race was constructed to bolster capitalism. She draws on years of research and personal experience to explain how, in a divided world, unity and coalition are needed to create a future that works for everyone and challenges us to create meaningful, lasting change.   Christina Collins is a UCC graduate with a BA in Language and Cultural Studies and a Higher Diploma in Advanced Languages and Global Communications, specialising in French, English and Portuguese studies.
