Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race, by Reni Eddo-Lodge
4.0
This book is important - especially for those, like me, who think/thought that 'racism isn't that profound in the UK, we're not as bad as America..'
The History chapter was eye opening. There was so much that I didn't know about which evidences how woefully inadequate historical education is in our schools. But it's also on me for not going out and trying to learn.
The fact that so many references and case studies are from the last 10 years shows how significant an issue racism still is and how much work white people have left to do. I will be lending this book to as many people as I can and encouraging my circles to open their eyes to the problem, how they may have contributed and how they can help with the anti-racist movement.
