""The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it -- and then dismantle it." Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America -- but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it. In this book, Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science, bringing it all together with an engaging personal narrative of his own awakening to antiracism. How to Be an Antiracist is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond an awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a truly just and equitable society." -- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Do the work! submitted by Cloverdale on June 27, 2020, 9:27am The author is also interviewed as part of the Seeing White podcast. This book is not a lecture. It is a thought provoking and digestible book on the author's journey to becoming anti-racist, and an invitation to recognize the reader's potential for becoming one as well.

Excellent book submitted by Adam Graham on July 17, 2020, 8:23pm Recommend this to anyone beginning their anti-racist journey

great read submitted by crp on August 6, 2020, 1:04am i really enjoyed this book, esp as he doesn't make this a black-white polar discussion but includes issues that occur when we dichotomize race in america.

Meaningful submitted by avandeusen on July 17, 2021, 11:32am A specific and important book, written with perspective and clarity

Important read submitted by Xris on October 1, 2021, 8:32am I had to keep it over the due date to be able to finish the whole thing. It's not an easy read but it's important. And I like the analogy of cancer and racism in the book. Hopefully I can be a better antiracist now. :)

How to be an Anti-racist submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 9:01am I feel like everyone should read this book. I thought I was sufficiently knowledgeable about racism as I took ethnic studies classes as part of a minor in college but man I am so glad I sought out additional information. So well written and eye-opening for sure

How to… submitted by khrobinson on August 28, 2022, 11:16pm A how to for anti-racism. Clear definitions and personal examples. Dig in and never stop learning!

Amazing. submitted by jrpolaczyk on June 20, 2023, 7:20am Should be required reading for all white people. We have to figure this out!

Really great submitted by lizgiessner on July 17, 2023, 7:53pm I agree with all the other reviews and can only add that his ideas on public policy changes are also important.
