In February 2014, Reni Eddo-Lodge posted an impassioned argument on her blog about her deep-seated frustration with the way discussions of race and racism in Britain were constantly being shut down by those who weren't affected by it. She gave the post the title 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race'. Her sharp, fiercely intelligent words hit a nerve, and the post went viral, spawning a huge number of comments from people desperate to speak up about their own similar experiences.

Story
In Sex, Lies and Question Time, former MP Kate Ellis looks at what it is really like to be a woman in Australian politics today. In 2017, a survey showed zero per cent of young Australian women would consider entering politics. Zero. In a time when we critically need women in our parliament, and in a country that was an early leader in women's political participation, there is a perception that women and politics don’t mix. Shocking incidents have exposed the sexism that women in politics face from opposition, the media, the public, even their own colleagues.

Story
In a small town, everyone thinks they know you: Charlie is a hardcore rocker who’s not as tough as he looks. Hammer is a footy jock with big AFL dreams and an even bigger ego. Zeke is a shy over-achiever, never macho enough for his family. But all three boys hide who they really are. When the truth is revealed, will it set them free or blow them apart?

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
**THE GLOBAL MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER**
NOT BEING RACIST IS NOT ENOUGH. WE HAVE TO BE ANTIRACIST.
In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars of racism, shows that neutrality is not an option: until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racism whether they realise it or not, and by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism, he shows us how instead to be a force for good. Along the way, Kendi punctures all the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality.
In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racism - what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.
Critic Reviews
"So vital." (Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk About Race)
"The most courageous book to date on the problem of race." (New York Times)
"It feels like a light switch being flicked on." (Owen Jones)

Too long. Somewhat problematic
This book is too long and has somewhat 'problematic ideas', espically the part about the 'conjoined twins' . Anyone listening to this needs to remember that this is Kendi's perspective and not factual information. A lot of Statistics were used out of content and without acknowledging the sources. Kendi's narratoring gets annoyingly hysterical at times. After 10 hours, you'll be more than glad that this is finally over. ... if you even get through it all.

This is not the book the detractors claim it is
Almost everything the detractors of this book claim that Kendi is saying is a misrepresentation of what he actually says.
You will hear that Kendi is encouraging people of colour to see themselves as helpless victims. On the contrary he spends most of chapter 11 criticising that view and saying that they can and should take action. He spends the later part of the book describing actions that can be taken.
You will hear that Kendi is saying that white people are inherently racist. Actually he says the opposite a number of times, in fact towards the end he says that no-one is inherently racist.
You will hear that Kendi is saying that white people are evil. Again Kendi strongly criticises the view that white people are evil.
So forget everything you have heard about this book from its detractors and read it yourself. You may or may not agree with all he says but it is well written and clear.

A must read!
Dr. Kendi's voice is the one we need, to begin rectifying the injustices of racism and to ensure no one else is subjected to the same treatment. This book challenged many of my perceptions and has given me a new outlook on what it means to fight against racism.

An essential experience for any beneficiary of white privilege to learn from.
This book has the potential to course correct your life as it has my own through its brilliant and heavy content that for me was an extraordinary wake up call as to my own racism that needs to change as it is essential reading at this time in history where so much is at stake for the human race by working together to create a safer planet for future generations. Highly recommended. Excellent. 👍🏼👍🏼

don't get this book
this book is written with so much leftist bias and factual inaccuracies, this book is great for bln wanks who like to bath in melancholic lies and drown in egotistical bias , I used it to start the BBQ, about the only useful thing to do with this ill written book, clearly a young author with hardly world experience and too young, no perspective, only anger and bitter.
