Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Renni Eddo-Lodge

A best-seller following publication in 2017, Eddo-Lodge's polemic lit up a whole conversation about race in Britain, prompting millions to think for the first time about the concepts of systemic racism and white privilege in relation to the UK. The conversation, if that's the word for what often feels like a perilous obstacle course at best and an antagonistic Manichean battle to the death at worst, continues with renewed intensity following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Eddo-Lodge's book has been as controversial and it has been influential. Join Zoe and Tom as they roll up their sleeves and wade into the debate of our times.
