Lilian Thuram (en français): What does it mean to be white?

The French football legend Lilian Thuram joined Nathan Murphy in studio on Friday's Off The Ball. Lilian joined us to discuss his book, 'White Thinking: Behind the Mask of Racial Identity.' A book not necessarily concerned with football, Nathan spoke to the World Cup winner Thuram about this towering work of scholarship and the difficult questions it raises: What does it mean to be white? Is skin colour also a way of thinking? This edition of the interview includes both Thuram's own answers en français and the translated English version. A condensed version of the interview with the English answers alone is available in our OTB Football podcast stream.
