A question if you don't mind

Hello
Can I ask if anyone has read the book: Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People about Race

I read Jews Don't Count recently from the same publishers. Which even as a jew chucked a couple of things I had never considered at me. Is this book equally eye opening or will I be wasting my time? Anyone know or have an alternative book to recommend?

From what I've heard, most people who read it thought it was worth the read. It helped me understand intersectionality, which I hadn't really grasped.

There were a few things that made me roll my eyes, eg. when she lamented "They never taught me this. I had to go out and find out all by myself. I had to watch a documentary." But that's to do with me being older than her and having different expectations about being taught things v. finding things out. Overall, I don't think you're regret reading it.

Thank you

I also liked Brit(ish) by Afua Hirsch. It's more of a memoir based look at growing up mixed race (her mum's family's from Ghana and her dad's family are Jewish, coming from Germany just before WW2). It makes for a very interesting and thoughtful read.

Oh that does sound like my type of thing. Thank you very much.
