Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race
Reni Eddo-Lodge started with a blog post about how exhausting it was to discuss race with people who refused to see structural racism. The response was so large that she turned the argument into a book. She traces the history of Black Britain, the workings of structural racism, the link between race and class, and the friction within feminism when it ignores race. Written for a British context but read widely beyond it, the book became a touchstone for conversations about race and was the first nonfiction title to top the UK paperback chart by a Black British author. Emma Watson chose it for her book club Our Shared Shelf.
