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 --
Really well written; clear and powerful; full of history I wasn’t aware of, an irrefutable description of structural racism, insights into black experience, and observations of white attitudes that really hit home. I will be quoting from this book the next time friends and family trot out the “all lives matter” line.
