How To Be An Antiracist

Product Description

In this rousing & deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, founding director of the Antiracism Research & Policy Center, shows that when it comes to racism, 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 & story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racism whether they realise it or not, & 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 & taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is & whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender & sexuality.

In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society & builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racism
- what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it & what to do about it.
