Book excerpt: Lilian Thuram was an outstanding footballer who won the World Cup and the European Championship with the French national team. He also enjoyed a brilliant career with some of Europe's greatest club sides: Monaco, Parma, Juventus and Barcelona. Always a thoughtful commentator on issues of raceand class, Thuram chose, after his retirement, to launch an anti-racism Foundation. This translation of his bestselling 2010 volume, Mes Etoiles Noires, finally brings his anti-racism work to the attention of an English-language audience (the book has already been translated into several Europeanlanguages). At a time when the Black Lives Matters movement has reminded us of the need to tell more complex stories about our shared past, this volume constitutes a timely intervention by a prominent black sporting figure.
