This book is well put together in the way Dr. Kendi is able to concisely explain history, how it applies to today, and also interweave his own story and how he learned these things (this humanizes him too, and shows he’s made mistakes, which helps readers be more open to it themselves. Def not preachy even though it could have been!). I would say the only thing that could have improved is more actionable steps on how to be antiracist. I understand we need to work to dismantle racist power, but how do we actually do that? It’s not working so far, and it feels like things have only gotten worse since this book was published. I definitely learned a lot, don’t get me wrong, I just wish I learned how to be antiracist and not just think like one. But maybe that’s the first step??
