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

5.0

Reni Eddo-Lodge’s Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race started as a blog post and ended as a published, award-winning book. Eddo-Lodge delves into the history of racism in Britain, structural racism, white privilege, and intersectionality. It’s important, it’s informative, and I was quite emotional when I finished it. I recommend this book because it’s so important to understand the history of racism in Britain, structural racism in particular, as well as the intersections of race and gender or race and class. Ironically, I think white people need to read this book. ‘After a lifetime of embodying difference, I have no desire to be equal.’
