Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race
by Reni Eddo-Lodge
This was a really well written look into race relations in Britain. I know basically nothing about how British politics work, or really anything about British history, but Reni Eddo-Lodge still makes this work really accessible. In fact, she uses a lot of examples from American politics and race relations to use as a lens for similar situations in Britain. She covers a lot in this book, which each chapter digging into different aspects of race. I like the chapter on race & feminism and the chapter on white privilege. I feel like they are a perfect length to give a broad overview but also digs into specific stories. Eddo-Lodge also clearly did her research because she has a lot of facts and statistics at the ready to quote.
I think this book is perfect to hand to white people who need to sit down and listen to the perspective of a black woman.
