An amazing book. Open your eyes! Understand your privilege if you are not black. Don't try to defend yourself, explain yourself. That is NOT the point of this book. Is for you to listen and learn and understand that your reality, just for being white, is a lot easier than of any black person.
Not sure why good reads list this as a trilogy and not separate books. WIANLTTWPAR is one of those books which changes the way you think.
I am going to declare my bias. I write about this book as a white person who has been involved in anti-racist campaigns (including anti-apartheid, rock against racism, the anti-nazi league, oppostion to the Vietnam war, the Iraq War, Defend the Asylum Seeker Campaigns). I disagree with the premise of this book for three reasons: firstly, she doesn't distinguish between BNPs racism (violent attacks) and those who oppose racism but may have unconcious biases (the angry black woman motif); secondly...
This book in principle is good but writes about the past too much. We know it was wrong but we have now made significant positive steps against racism. It was not for me, but others may enjoy.
