"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!

"I can’t have a conversation with them about the details of a problem if they don’t even recognise that the problem exists."

This book is for you if... you're a person.

I do not have a place to critique this book, but know I found it so informative and really amazing. I am white, I won't say anything except that i found this book to be very eye opening especially the british history as I knew none of what was talked about in this. I think for white people this would be a great book to read to work on educating ourselves.

CAWPILE Rating: 9.43/10
Stars: 5/5 Stars
Very important for people to read.

This book is compelling, useful, and a great introduction to anti-racism. I learned a lot about the history of race and racism in Britain.
