We will be discussing Reni Eddo-Lodge’s book “Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race” – meeting at Black Book Cafe on Nelson St on Wednesday 20th March, 7.30-9.30pm. This event forms part of our mini-series: “Britain: Class, Race and Gender in past, present and future” – but you are welcome to attend this and the next event even if you have missed the earlier sessions.
Download selected chapters of “…AboutRace” PDF: Chapter 5 – The Feminism Question, Chapter 6 – Race and Class, and Chapter 7 – There’s No Justice, There’s Just Us (pages 81-118 in this version).
The book followed a ‘viral’ blogpost that Reni authored, with the same title as the book. This is short and I recommend reading it first, then the chapters.
Should you wish to read the whole book, it is available in paperback RRP: £8.99. At least one copy is available from Gloucestershire Libraries. A pdf of Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race is also available online.
You may be interested in listening to some or all of the nine 40-minute episodes that form the “About Race with Reni” podcast – these cover similar ground to the book, as well as Reni’s reflections on the popularity of the blogpost and book. As ever we will try to focus discussion on the night on the focus chapters, but wider reading (and listening) is welcome. Below is a video featuring Reni Eddo-Lodge speaking about her book with Emma Watson, as part of the latter’s “Our Shared Shelf” Feminist Book Club project.
