''[[Going Home Toto Teach]]'' is an autobiographical novel by Jamaican author [[Anthony Winkler]], published in 1995.
 
Winkler outlines his time spent as an instructor at a teacher-training college in Jamaica in 1975, during the tenure of then-Prime Minister Michael Manley, and discusses the [[Truth in Television|history behind black-on-white and white-on-black racism in Jamaica]]. He also flashes back to his own boyhood experiences, the struggles endured by himself and his family (individually and as a collective group), and the anti-white sentiment he faced while growing up.
