An excellent look at the dynamics often ignored but always at play in British and European society. I learn a lot that I didn't know before and understood so much more about Britain's history as a white power. Akala manages to weave in humour to an incredible array of dark subjects and his storytelling is so warm and powerful because of this.
I listened to the audible version of this book and it was read by the man himself - he lands the tone of his words so well and it made for an even more thoughtful authentic and somehow enjoyable read.

I read this as part of the Decolonise UoM Radical Readers Book Club and I'm so glad I got the chance!
