Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is the difference between racism and prejudice. There is an unattributed definition of racism that defines it as prejudice plus power. 

An insightful novel, and one I will definitely be recommending to white friends and family going forward. Learning about British involvement in the slave trade and its history of police brutality was eye-opening and very worthwhile, so I'm glad I finally got around to giving this a 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.
