The post went viral and comments flooded in from others desperate to speak up about their own experiences. Galvanised by this clear hunger for open discussion she decided to dig into the source of these feelings. Exploring issues from eradicated black history to the political purpose of white dominance whitewashed feminism to the inextricable link between class and race Reni Eddo-Lodge offers a timely and essential new framework for how to see acknowledge and counter racism. It is a searing illuminating absolutely necessary exploration of what it is to be a person of colour in Britain today.
