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

challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

"White privilege is an absence of the consequences of racism. An absence of structural discrimination, an absence of your race being viewed as a problem first and foremost."

After reading Angela Davis' "Women, Race and Class" earlier this year, it dawned on me how much of my understanding of intersectionality had been from the American perspective. Much like Davis, Eddo-Lodge presents how issues surrounding gender, race and class manifest in modern-day England. Could hardly put it down. As a WoC, I saw my experiences reflected and understood. A poignant book with brilliant writing - I look forward to reading more from the author!
