4.5

An engaging, thought-provoking, thoroughly researched read that respectfully acknowledges multiple viewpoints without undermining the author's own position. While the discussion is ostensibly focused on British history/culture, a) some concepts — such as racism and intersectionality — are universal, and b) considering British influence on the rest of the world, it's relevant to the rest of the world anyway.

Despite the eye-catching and provocative title (which I definitely don't blame the author/team for using, haha), the book is actually quite welcoming to people who might be previously oblivious or in denial with regards to privilege. If you're willing to put in the work, this is a good resource.
