From the moment I started reading, I could not put this book down. I literally had to start rationing chapters so that I could actually get some uni work done.
This is one of the most eye-opening, thought-provoking, and paradigm-shifting books I have ever read, and I'm so glad I picked it up. The cover and title are, of course, extremely provocative, and it's bold statements like this that prick up our ears and lure us in. If you are a white reader, before you immediately deny your complicity in racism, read a few chapters. Then reassess your judgement.
What I realised is that I had been benefitting from a system my ENTIRE life without even recognising that this was entirely because of the colour of my skin, and reading something this incredible is the catalyst I needed to start making changes. Reni Eddo-Lodge doesn't want you to feel guilty, she wants you to change. And that is exactly what we must do.
