It being Black History month and all, I'm currently reading...
Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge
There's a lot of black history contained in it that I blissfully ignorant about.
She also powerfully exposes the extent to which all of us carry around unconscious biases and reductive stereotypes about people who are different to us, and how those unconscious biases, contribute to structural (or institutional) racism.

The title made me roll my eyes although that was probably the point. Usually I see titles like this coming out of America, I was surprised to see the author is British. I’ll add it to my wishlist although I’ve already waded through quite a lot of material that covers institutional racism, sexism etc.
