I would recommend this book to everyone! Because everyone is either benefiting from or being affected by racism, but I would especially recommend it to folks in the UK wanting to learn more about the history of racism, xenophobia, and anti-blackness of the British empire. Well researched, carefully considered, and providing great context for the issues discussed, Eddo-Lodge is exceptionally generous in this book. Tackling issues from microagressions all the way up to country and global structural racism, at the core of this book is an encouragement for everyone to get educated on the issues, and be empathetic towards all marginalized folks. She artfully argues that structural racism is currently using the language of “pc culture” spurning dreaded “identity politics” as a way to work with the far right to keep the current power structures in place. There is no liberation for some without liberation for all. Eddo-Lodge simultaneously lays the problem at everyone’s feet: there is no justice, just us. So what are we going to do about it? Beautifully read by the author, I especially loved listening to her speak about these issues, sharing intimate parts of her own experience and giving answers to some of the questions she regularly receives at speaking engagements.

Jonathan does what no one else could have and performs this book like you are sitting on a couch together talking. So glad he decided to read this- anyone else would have butchered it. I really enjoyed this book, for the most part the tone and story made sense with only one offroad excursion into baby Jack’s opinion of Bill Clinton that just didn’t fit in the book where it was placed. Hilarious, heart wrenching, and a must read, you will be enriched by this gay queen learning to live and love himself to the fullest. I definitely cried. Would certainly recommend to a friend.

I am so grateful and feel so honored that Michelle Obama chose to yet again bring herself, her private thoughts and private life into the public sphere. Elegantly and gently using her power to remind us of the hope that earned her husband a presidential candidacy twice, hope that lives on even in these difficult times. This book brought me to devastating tears and heart bursting joy. Obama is an excellent and very generous writer. It was 100% worth every penny.
