This is very, very much "whiteness 101". If you're just getting started with learning about racial tension and oppression, this is a good book for you. It even includes questions at the end of each chapter to prompt thought or discussion. For someone who has been actively learning these things, it's going to be extremely basic. I'm halfway through and this isn't just review, it's review of stuff I've learned faces in the past now. It's also amazingly expensive and only available in paperback.

The beginners guide to critical race theory. I read ‘What it Means to Be White’ at the Evergreen State College in my Political Economy and Social Movements program. Any white person that wants to be a anti-racist should read this book. A quick read, this book should be taught and/or read by students in middle and high school.
