a solid entry-level read on the topic of black history in England. Highly recommended read.

A very interesting read. I, like many others, did not think about race and the racism that comes with it. I have many black friends, and it is not something we have ever spoken about, until now. Reni talks of the battles that people of race have had to endure just be part of the UK, battles that I remember (Race Riots) and others that I had no idea about. As with a lot of things in a predominantly white society, things are swept under the carpet, and our government should be ashamed of their actions in the past, and indeed the present.
I feel this should be a book read by everyone.

A great critique of the history of the actual diversity of being British against the idea/myth that being white is British. We can move to anti racism action in everyday interactions, rather than get stuck in guilt for privilege experienced
