Toronto International Festival of Authors 2022

Each day of the Festival, authors and industry experts will come together for candid, live conversations to examine a new facet of the culture and politics that shape the world around us and the books we read.

Does the re-assessment of our past offer future change for Canada? Our panel combines lived experience and academic expertise to explore these issues. As a bilingual, biracial man, straddling Black and white, English and French Canada, Stephen Dorsey offers readers intimate and unfiltered access to his lived experience of anti-Black racism in Black and White: An Intimate, Multicultural Perspective on White Advantage and the Paths to Change.

Join our panelists to learn about the process of writing and publishing compelling books that lay bare their own truths, and that of others’.
