Just fantastic. While i've been exposed to a lot of this material through my sociology classes, it's one thing to read about racism in an academic article, and it's another thing to read about it in a book meant for a popular audience. I found this book very easy (if not comfortable) to read. It also did a lot to help me develop my own vocabulary and ability to speak about race. I've been consciously trying to increase my race literacy for several years now, but found it exceedingly difficult to talk about it out loud, for fear of saying something wrong. DiAngelo is good at reminding us that we're going to mess up. That we must make mistakes and gracefully learn from them.
I look forward to reading her more recent work.

Alternatively titled (for me, at least): How to Talk to White People About Racism
Really didn’t wanna read this, but unfortunately I felt like I needed to given where I work and the people that surround me o. O
Got some great talking points next time people come at me with ignorant bullshit. More white people should read this but probably won’t because white fragility.

Absolutely required for reading if you’re white. I’ve read a lot about race from authors of color, but it’s also good to read about it from someone of your own too. Reading about this from a white woman, who knows her stuff, was relatable and stretched me in ways I needed stretching. Definitely picking up her second book.
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.
