"Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race" Is a non-fiction book that centres on the history of racism in Britain. This system behind it what the meaning of white privilege is a fear of a Black planet and even feminist questions. Additionally, the author explains how race has something to do with class and many topics more.
Going into this, I did not know what to expect. I actually wanted this book for my birthday since I have had lots of great things about it, and I thought it would be a good idea to try to educate myself a little bit further on the topic of race. I am pretty astonished how Delicate this book is with explaining race, gender and class. The statement is that the author has given rather thought-provoking and eye-opening. At the same time, I always knew that I have privileged to live in a western country and be white; however, I am reading about this system of privilege as Pyramids shifting. Usually, I am a fiction reader, but I do enjoy some non-fiction at a time. I have to say that I would recommend this book to anyone, in particular, any white person living on this earth sends educating yourself as always the best it's trying to reset your old habits. Probably the best thing about this book is that Eddo-Lodge is not trying to make you feel guilty. Instead, she's trying to make you want to change something. This was one of the best parts of this book.
To cut a long story short, I am glad that I have picked this book up and that it has shifted my view a little bit more into becoming a better person if I may say so myself if these words have not convinced you already I am going to tell it again, please pick this book up.

"White privilege is an absence of the consequences of racism. An absence of structural discrimination, an absence of your race being viewed as a problem first and foremost."
After reading Angela Davis' "Women, Race and Class" earlier this year, it dawned on me how much of my understanding of intersectionality had been from the American perspective. Much like Davis, Eddo-Lodge presents how issues surrounding gender, race and class manifest in modern-day England. Could hardly put it down. As a WoC, I saw my experiences reflected and understood. A poignant book with brilliant writing - I look forward to reading more from the author!
