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.

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.

funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

While I don’t know that it necessarily taught me anything new, that’s not to say that if I had read it when it came out it first rather than in 2020 that would still have been the case. I did find a lot of it really resonated with me and the stuff she was saying about the 2016 political shit show of year really captured that feeling of the time for me. 
I loved that her personality shone through in the writing even though it was really research based. It was refreshing to get a British view of race and racism because it seems more similar to the Irish experience and so much of what we consume is through an American lense. I also really loved that it fuelled such great discussions with others who’ve read it, which I guess was part of the point of it. 

Would definitely recommend.
