Tähän oli tosi vaikea kirjottaa arvostelua. Kirja herätti paljon ajatuksia ja tunteta. Kirjassa on älyttömän hyvin sanotettu eri tilanteita, sekä rasismin muuntautuminen orjuudesta tämän päivän oikeiston nousuun. 

Suosittelen tätä isosti jokaiselle valkoiselle.

An informative and eye-opening book that covers every single base when it comes to racism in Britain, from black history to the many flaws in the system to how racism intersects with feminism. Why are we not taught any of this at school?? Essential reading for white people so we can be true allies to people of colour.

Super informative, well written, and just really fantastic. I really loved learning more about Britain's role in the slave trade, since I feel like it's something that isn't really as discussed as the American side. Super engaging and bold, this book calls for change and I'm absolutely here for it.

Essential, insightful, important, enlightening, a gut-punch of a read. Learned so much from this book. Especially how we must be honest with ourselves, and recognize our inherent biases, before we think about performing any anti-racism for others.

"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!
