A review by charley0796
White Skin, Black Fuel: On the Danger of Fossil Fascism by The Zetkin Collective, Andreas Malm

dark informative slow-paced

3.0

Contrary to other reviews, I actually found the second half of this book more interesting than the first, with its focus on history and politics.

I found this a tough read, and honestly cannot say what I really learned from reading it (other than some bits about how racist and fat right Sweden is, amongst other countries!). I have a post graduate level qualification and a bachelor’s degree at a high ranking university and I struggled to understand what it was saying. I would say this is not for beginners and is for those with a masters degree. I also feel the book assumed prior knowledge in politics, which I have not much understanding of! 

I really wanted to rate this highly, as it was a book I have been looking forward to reading to learn more about environmental racism, but I just couldn’t enjoy or get into it. So, I will be rating it 3
