My reaction to this book was FINALLY someone is discussing the intersectionality between feminism, classism, and the British identity with race and racism. Having spoken to her personally about this during one of her talks, it's rather refreshing to hear it included. Absolutely current and relevant to society especially in the aftermath of the Brexit referendum. I listened to this in one go on Audible, nodding and shouting in agreement throughout. Reni Eddo-Lodge writes coherently and extremely succinctly to make the language accessible, and the anecdotes slightly terrifying. An absolute must-read and listen.

Extremely though provoking, straight-talking and useful takedown of white privilege, with lots of easy to understand deconstruction of objections to thinking about it or admitting it’s a problem. This is great when explaining to people that racism isn’t about not being perceived as a nasty person, but about failing to recognise the structures that perpetuate inequality. Very instructive.

I've read this book several times now but I keep returning to it because it's continually relevant. Eddo-Lodge has a great way with words, and her work is truly commendable. I think this is a must-read for anyone interested in dismantling the racist structures in our society, and within ourselves.
