Started this on 25 March, finished on the 27th. Really good and detailed analysis about the need to speak about race and racism. I loved how Oluo structured the chapters starting with a question, this really helped with understanding and evaluation of the topics covered in each chapter.

Would 100% reccomend. Ijeoma's writing is amazing.

This book was eye-opening and incredible. There are many topics with which I was familiar, but it was a great learning experience for me to be able to learn about them from a BIPOC individual, as those are the individuals who are suffering the most at the hands of these atrocities.

I really loved that each chapter was structured so that we got to read a personal anecdote from her life, which progressed into an explanation of what the topic could look like from another's point of view, and finally to what actions we could take to either fight the issue or incite change.

This book is an incredibly valuable resource, and one I will think about for a long time. I plan to purchase a copy of my own (I borrowed it from the library for this first read) so I can mark it up and refer back to it frequently. This book is a must-read; everyone can learn something from it.

This book is an accessible & informative non-fiction reads. Especially for folks that interest in educating themselves on the topic of productive discussion about race (especially race in the context of the USA). The book structure also makes it easy to navigate. So many topics and terms are explained with examples/references. Insightful tips are also listed to encourage readers to do an actual action in real-life situations.

So You Want to Talk about Race is also a great book as an introductory read for non-USA readers who are interested in reading about how race is an integral part of the USA as a nation & why it's important to talk about it.
