The book that sparked a national conversation. Exploring everything from eradicated black history to the inextricable link between class and race, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race is the essential handbook for anyone who wants to understand race relations in Britain today.

Thoughts

An interesting book that details why it’s so hard and ultimately fruitless to have conversations about race when there is such a systematic inequality and so many opportunities for distractions and turning the conversation in another direction. It does take a minute to get your head around an entire book talking about race given the title, and there doesn’t really seem to be an overarching point to the book - other than continuing the important conversation and raising awareness of the ongoing issues.
