i dont really have anything to say about a book like this, honestly. its something you can only learn from, rather than have sort of criticism on.

A really illuminating read on racism in the UK. It’s definitely a primer as I’m sure Eddo-Lodge could have wrote more on each of the chapters.

Reading it in 2021 was eye-opening as I remember how different anti-racism was treated in the media 5-10 years ago. As Eddo-Lodge rightly says, there has been a renaissance in societal consciousness regarding whiteness and Blackness. It’s been wonderful to see, but there is a long way to go.

Every white person should read this
