How to be an Antiracist

Award-winning writer and historian Ibram X. Kendi illuminates the meaning of antiracism in this illuminating examination of racism throughout history and today. Kendi defines antiracism, explains its guiding principles, and urges us to explore what an antiracist society would look like. He explores historic and contemporary racism, from the transatlantic slave trade to the mass incarceration of black Americans, from Jim Crow laws to white flight from urban centers to gentrification in cities today. Offering a call to action as well as a set of concrete steps for becoming more aware about racial biases, How to Be an Antiracist challenges us all to take racism seriously and become active in undoing it.
