How to Be an Antiracist
Tags
---
Description
Antiracism reorients the conversation about racism, pointing toward liberating ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value, its warped logic extending beyond race to encompass how we regard people of different ethnicities, skin colors, sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class, culture, and geography, even changing how we see and value ourselves.
Ibram X. Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas, from basic concepts to visionary possibilities, helping us see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism.
This is an essential work for anyone who wants to move beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.
