Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race

Reni Eddo-Lodge

Eddo-Lodge's essay-turned-book on structural racism in Britain and the exhaustion of explaining it.

Reni Eddo-Lodge published a blog post in 2014 about the futility of discussing race with people determined not to hear it, and the response turned into this book: a history of Black Britain, an anatomy of structural racism, and an argument about who gets asked to do the explaining. It became the first book by a Black British author to top the UK charts. Emma Watson called it the most important book she read that year.

I am not supposed to have favourites, however this was the most important book for me this year.
