Reviews

Cheung’s debut book is lucid, precise, and insightful…I learned so much…[it] filled me with more hope than outrage. Under the White Gaze is elucidating without ever being didactic…I will read anything Christopher Cheung writes. -- Jessica Poon * The British Columbia Review *


""Under the White Gaze is a welcome invitation for journalists and editors to self-reflect. And it's a call for all of us to act in service of a more inclusive and representative media landscape.""-- ""The Tyee"" ""Under the White Gaze is essential reading for aspiring and seasoned journalists, media consumers, and anyone wondering why race and representation are so often missing from our headlines.""-- ""CBC News""
