This book speaks to the frustrations I’ve been feeling around current approaches to “anti-racism” whatever， the way “identity politics” rules discourse with an iron rod， and the general uneasiness I started to feel realising the limitations we encounter when trying to discuss “race”。Don’t be completely put off by the name: while the book is addressed to Well-Meaning White People， there is much for all of us to learn。 It’s an easy introduction to challenging the ways we engage with capitalism， ne This book speaks to the frustrations I’ve been feeling around current approaches to “anti-racism” whatever， the way “identity politics” rules discourse with an iron rod， and the general uneasiness I started to feel realising the limitations we encounter when trying to discuss “race”。Don’t be completely put off by the name: while the book is addressed to Well-Meaning White People， there is much for all of us to learn。 It’s an easy introduction to challenging the ways we engage with capitalism， neo-liberal politics and the rest of the stuff that got us here。 A short and witty read that will pull on your edges a little bit， but ultimately should make you wanna do better with helpful starting points。 。。。more

This was an intelligent， thought-provoking and educating essay。 It looks at what white people need to actually do to create change in relation to racial justice。 This book is unlike any other racial justice books or essays I have read。 Emma Dabiri takes a different stance on anti-racism compared to what I have commonly seen， especially during 2020。 A focus is put on shared goals， interests， and interrogating capitalism， rather than focusing on privilege。 Dabiri argues that no change， or little c This was an intelligent， thought-provoking and educating essay。 It looks at what white people need to actually do to create change in relation to racial justice。 This book is unlike any other racial justice books or essays I have read。 Emma Dabiri takes a different stance on anti-racism compared to what I have commonly seen， especially during 2020。 A focus is put on shared goals， interests， and interrogating capitalism， rather than focusing on privilege。 Dabiri argues that no change， or little change can occur without coalition。 Her discussions on the biological terms/labels of ‘white’ and ‘black’ and how she believes they should be erased， due to them only reinforcing racism and the exploitation of one group of people， opened my eyes。 She disputes allyship and privilege， focusing rather on forming kinships that defy the divisions that were intended to weaken。 I think this book was very well written and researched。 It made me think about how I can get to the root of the problem to do better and it enforced how mutuality is so important。 Mutuality rather than charity that is so often performed。I would recommend this book as it offers clear points that cause you to question your behaviour and provides you with new ways of thinking without conforming to the terms and advice of online discourse surrounding anti-racism。 Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Press UK for sending me an arc to review。 。。。more

I haven't read all of this author's first book "Don't touch my hair" apart from several excerpts。 She comes accross as incredibly angry about her appearance。I have also read interviews and she seems to have identity issues。 She complains a lot， almost incessantly， about her hair。 She also seems to hate the Irish yet hasn't lived there for decades。I don't know if I'll read this book apart from an excerpt like a taster。。。if it's as negative as her first book then I'll pass。I'm curious to know what I haven't read all of this author's first book "Don't touch my hair" apart from several excerpts。 She comes accross as incredibly angry about her appearance。I have also read interviews and she seems to have identity issues。 She complains a lot， almost incessantly， about her hair。 She also seems to hate the Irish yet hasn't lived there for decades。I don't know if I'll read this book apart from an excerpt like a taster。。。if it's as negative as her first book then I'll pass。I'm curious to know what most of Europe makes of books like these in the "Dear White People" genre。 Most European countries didn't have colonies anywhere especially in Africa or Asia， didn't have slaves， didn't transport slaves accross the Atlantic， didn't invade anywhere。 Just exactly what guilt are they supposed to feel？ 。。。more
