It's easy to see why this book is held in such high regard when it comes to conversation about race. With a specific focus on racism in the UK, it looks at issues facing People of Colour today and introduces the reader to some of the history as to how we got here. I think a lot of us associate racism with America and like to think that it's not as big a problem here but this book makes it clear that the UK has its own long and sordid history with racism and that structural racism is an ingrained part of our country that needs to be acknowledged and addressed. Well worth reading.
