In my opinion a great perspective on how racism unfolds in a European country - a lot of popular resources are centered around America, so I think this is especially important to read when living in Europe or Britain.

i cannot overstate the importance of this book. i would consider myself as someone relatively well read on the history of racism within the uk and the cultural context that supports its presence within the modern day, never the less, this was an eye opening read a remarkably easy to follow, expertly structured and beautifully quick. i would thoroughly recommend to everyone.

I really enjoyed this. Racism in the UK, both past and present, isn't something we hear a lot about in North America and I really appreciated the opportunity to learn about it.

Just an incredible book to read, if you’re wanting to educate yourself on a topic where your knowledge is woefully lacking. Reni-Eddo Lodge is blunt, precise, and lays her thoughts out in a manner that is both brutal and, at the same time, very needed. I’ll admit that I had to place this book down more times than I would’ve with any other book, but the topic was very heavy and after each chapter, I had to give myself time to digest it.

There were some points where I felt I didn’t precisely agree with, but that might just be my incomplete at best knowledge speaking. Four stars, and giving it anything lower would be an injustice to the author’s brilliant writing and incredible knowledge.
