I thought this was a really great book, and one written to (though not for) white women. The writing was quite engaging and easy to understand, though the author doesn't mince words or pull punches when it comes to letting white women in particular know the ways in which we need to step up and do better. Which is something I very much appreciated, but I do think that was helped along by the fact that I've done a lot of reading and work in this area beforehand. Each chapter is accompanied by journaling exercises at the end and I though the author did a great job mixing the prose with prompts to bring it from theory to practice. Definitely a book I'd recommend for anybody, but particularly for white women.

A great start and/or supplement for white folx to do the important work of racial and social justice.

Every white person needs to read this book. Super eye opening! She speaks with such power and directness, everyone needs to do better.

She lost me when she said that she is god. It also didn't help that one of her action items for acting as an ally is "withdraw from capitalism," whatever that means.
I do agree with her general premise though that too many white women value being perceived as good as more important that actually doing what's right, and think that posting a story on Instagram means they've done more than enough work to fight against white supremacy.

She signs it, with love and anger. About sums it up.
