I was recommended this book by a friend and WHEW did she deliver. As she said in her review, this is “absolutely essential reading for all.”
The craziest part of reading this book is that my brother turned to me at dinner last night and asked question #1. I’ve already left my copy on his nightstand to read.

Super short and the the point; I really loved they used Canadian examples since a lot of anti-racism educational reading is focused on the USA.

It is a fair attempt at having a clear and broad perspective of some racial issues, however it was a disappointment to see how it addresses issues by misdirecting the response.

Absolutely essential reading for all. I loved that this was Canadian focused and that the author's did not discuss race in a bubble, recognizing other intersecting forms of structural oppression. As a WOC this was valuable in grounding how I can engage in meaningful conversations with others about race. Before I had even finished the audiobook, I went out to purchase a print copy. I know I will be returning to this again and again. I seriously cannot recommend this enough.

This book is a distillation of common conversations that came up during conversations the authors hosted about race at the university they work at. I think it was a good overview in non-academic language of these ideas, and an excellent place for someone who is interested in learning more about race to begin. I also thought it was interesting to read a book about race that has a Canadian perspective rather than a U.S. perspective.
