Histories -- The system -- What is white privilege? -- Fear of a black planet -- The feminism question -- Race and class -- There's no justice, there's just us.
In 2014, award-winning journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge wrote on her blog about her frustration with the way that discussions of race and racism in Britain were being led by those who weren't affected by it. Her words hit a nerve. The post went viral and comments flooded in from others desperate to speak up about their own experiences. Galvanised, she decided to dig into the source of these feelings. Exploring issues from eradicated black history to the inextricable link between class and race, Reni Eddo-Lodge has written a searing, illuminating, absolutely necessary examination of what it is to be a person of colour in Britain today -- Source other than Library of Congress.

Relevant and Poignant submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 19, 2020, 6:38am This book has seen a surge in reputation following the harsh killing of George Floyd, and rightly so. If you want to learn why racism is not simply about cruel words or personal prejudice but structures and systems, this is a great place to start.
