Critics Review

  • Essential . . . accessible and yet so full of scholarship. Witty, insightful, a must-read

    Owen Jones
  • Fascinating, invigorating . . . this book is for everyone . . . we have an academic like Emma Dabiri writing as if James Connolly and Audre Lorde had a love child

    Irish Times
  • A gamechanging skewering of social-media discourse with a historically grounded analysis of anti-racism, collectivism, neoliberalism, and post-colonialism

    Vogue
  • Deftly and wittily deconstructs allyship and white saviour tropes to give an unblinkered takedown of what needs to happen next

    Stylist
  • A thoughtful, nuanced read that is deftly researched and studded with relevant reflections from Dabiri’s own life in Ireland, the UK and the US… Dabiri is on top form when applying her razor-sharp analysis to the symbiotic relationship between capitalism and racism, and how it harms us all

    iNews
  • Vital, needs to be read by as many people as possible . . . One of those rare books that is completely clarifying and that you find yourself referring back to for years to come
