Derek A. Bardowell is the author of No Win Race, on racial identity and sport, and Giving Back, which reimagines philanthropy. His work has been longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year, shortlisted for an Indie Book Award, and named a 'Book of the Year' by The Sunday Times and Financial Times. Derek has contributed to the anthology Black British Lives Matter and has written for publications including the Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Source and British GQ.
Do you wish you could do more to change the world but don't know how? Do you ever look around at the many charities asking for donations and feel overwhelmed? This inspiring and uplifting book explores the effectiveness of charity and calls for more radical giving if we want to contribute to a better world.
During a period when British society seems more divided than ever, and our decision makers are even more disconnected from the issues that keep us awake at night, Giving Back highlights the people and movements taking on some of the most challenging social issues of our time.
A respected figure in philanthropy, Derek A. Bardowell presents a unique insight into what's going on inside the world of giving and where we can best make a difference.
From redefining the role of charity itself to reimagining philanthropy through a reparative lens, Bardowell introduces a radical new take on how social problems, from climate change to racial injustice, can be tackled in modern society by all of us.

'A valuable act of remembrance... While wealth may confer privileges, it doesn't rid you of melanin or exempt you from prejudice.' Colin Grant, Guardian
