BookPublisher: London : Bloomsbury Circus, 2017Description: xvii, 249 pages ; 23 cm.ISBN: 9781408870556 (hbk.) :; 140887055X (hbk.) :.Classification number: 305.8094 EDDSubject(s): Racism -- Great Britain | Racism -- Political aspects -- Great Britain | Racism -- Social aspects -- Great Britain | Great Britain -- Race relations | Society | SocietySummary: 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. Galvanised by this response, she decided to dig into the source of these feelings; this clear hunger for an open discussion. The result is a searing, illuminating, absolutely necessary exploration of what it is to be a person of colour in Britain today.
