Eye-opening for sure. I'm still struggling with some racist thoughts apparently, and unfortunately.
I disagree with his assessment of what an activist is. In Chapter 16, he defines "Activist: one who has a record of power or policy change." I have little to no power but I try to be an activist in any small way I can as a disabled person.

This was a solid read and intro to the concept of antiracism. I appreciated the range of topics Kendi covered, and the amount of intersectionality he acknowledged. I thought he approached topics in a way that makes them accessible to someone who may be coming in with little or no knowledge. It's interesting to see though how much has already changed since this book was written (not in a good way unfortunately). Five years is a long time in the history of the world I guess.

The 2019 audiobook narrates annotations, mostly correcting terminology between versions. It's helpful to hear what changes were made and the reasoning behind them.
