Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge

challenging informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

After a lifetime of embodying difference, I have no desire to be equal. I want to deconstruct the structural power of a system that marked me out as different. I don't wish to be assimilated into the status quo. I want to be liberated from all negative assumptions that my characteristics bring. The onus is not on me to change. Instead, it's the world around me.

Impactful. Reni Eddo-Lodge knows how to balance her lived experiences with the facts of the matter. It's no mean feat to create something so readable when you're handling incendiary topics like race, class and gender. I particularly loved the middle chapters regarding intersectionality and (white) feminism.
