Publisher's Synopsis
Blackwell's Non Fiction Book of 2017 as chosen by our booksellers
'Reni's book is an excellent statement on the current discourse on race - and is also a very personal account of life under prejudice denial'
In February 2014, Reni Eddo-Lodge wrote about her frustration with the way discussions of race and racism in Britain were constantly being led by those who weren't affected by it. She posted the piece on her blog, and gave it the title: 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race'. Her powerful, passionate words hit a nerve. The post went viral, and comments flooded in from others desperate to speak up about their own, similar experiences.
