This is a book that was begging to be written. This is the kind of book that demands a future where we'll no longer need such a book. Essential.

Marlon James, author of Man Booker Prize-winning A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEVEN KILLINGS

This political, accessible and uncompromising book has got people talking about race and racism in Britain.

Guardian, "Books of the Year"

Searing ... A fresh perspective, offering an Anglocentric alternative to the recent status-quo-challenging successes of Get Out and Dear White People. This book's probing analysis and sharp wit certainly make us pray she will continue talking to white people about race.

Harper's Bazaar

A clear and convincing dissection of racism and the white denial that perpetuates it.

Our Best Adult Books of 2017 – Nonfiction, starred review, Shelf Awareness

A plainspoken, hard-hitting take on mainstream British society's avoidance of race and the complexities and manifestations of racism . . . Eddo-Lodge's crisp prose and impassioned voice implore white Britain to look beyond obvious racism to acknowledge the more opaque existence of structural racism . . . With this thoughtful and direct book, Eddo-Lodge stokes the very conversation that the title rejects.

Publishers Weekly

In her probing and personal narrative, Eddo-Lodge offers fresh insight into the way all racism is ultimately a 'white problem' that must be addressed by commitment to action, no matter how small . . . A sharp, compelling, and impassioned book.
