This is the difference between racism and prejudice. There is an unattributed definition of racism that defines it as prejudice plus power.
An insightful novel, and one I will definitely be recommending to white friends and family going forward. Learning about British involvement in the slave trade and its history of police brutality was eye-opening and very worthwhile, so I'm glad I finally got around to giving this a read.

It conceptualises terms like race, racism, prejudice, colourism, intersectionality and institutional racism..... But it does so in a way that is not only digestible to the reader but creates a tangible mental map of how everything is connected.
Touching on topics from history- the Atlantic slave trade to individual cases of assault, police brutality and injustice. This helps to explain the bigger picture of how things came to be, but also cultural turning points that had huge influence on the culture of Britian.
As someone from Liverpool I was very aware of our city's dark past with slavery, but the way Reni brings to life this history is brilliantly insightful while still rightfully difficult to learn about.
I felt privileged to be taken on the journey of the author from her childlike innocence up to the empowering and beautifully eloquent woman she is at the time of writing.
No review can do this justice, I can only implore you to read it. If it makes you uncomfortable then that is all the more reason to not shift your gaze. This book should be essential reading for every British person and anyone, of any race, who cares about understanding life experiences outside their own.
