Climate Change Is Racist: Race, Privilege and the Struggle for Climate Justice by Jeremy Williams
emilybalcombe's review
3.0
3.5 stars. The premise and central argument is sound and vitally important, but I think it needed more time to flesh out some key points. The book skims over some really fundamental principles of white privilege and anti-racism that the rest of the argument is built on. If you’re just starting out on your anti-racist journey, I’d recommend reading some more foundational texts (e.g. Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race) before starting this. The data is unequivocally compelling and I learned a lot, but I was left wanting to read much more about some topics that were brushed over within a few paragraphs.

When I first saw it I thought I didnt need to read it, because of course i knew that climate change was racist, obviously it stemmed from colonialism! But i learnt so much more from this book, it was so brilliant and informative. I wish I could gift this to everyone in my life.

A hard hitting read with some eye opening perspective shifts on climate change.

DNF. It's not bad or anything but is very very introductory white guy discussing race and climate change. Might be good to hand to the white eco conscious person with little to know knowledge about the intersections though. But if you have knowledge it will likely be repetition. Was hoping for more data and story telling.
