This is an absolute must read in my opinion. It is so informative and thought provoking, and I especially appreciated the conversations surrounding intersectionality. Kendi perfectly blended personal anecdotes with scholarly observations and historical narratives to create an engaging and informative read that is accessible to all audiences.

This is a book I have had on my radar for a while, and I’m glad I finally picked it up. I really enjoyed the side notes the author gives throughout the book of edits he’s made to the original text and why. I think it’s a reminder that we all have the ability to make a conscious effort to shift our focus and thoughts when we may not be totally correct. I am wanting to continue to learn, grown, change, adapt, and whatever else I need to do in order to be a better person with all of the people around me and around the world. Being conscious of how I could be and have been racially biased in my thoughts and decisions and understanding that I can continue to make an effort to be better!

A necessary read for anyone interested in the topic. Ibram relates personal stories of his life as well as information of the world around him in such a way to keep you going and to offer hope for the future, showing that we still have so far to go, and an understanding of what it has taken to get to where we are now.

I found this book challenging but informative. It is a genre I’m not usually engaging with, and it was nice reading about the experience of Black Americans through an informed and honest eye. The only reason I rate this lower is the emphasis on terminology..I understand the importance of getting these topics right, but I would have appreciated less picking apart of the language and more on his lived experience.

Hard to give it a review other than loving the style of point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint that informs one’s evolution and attachment to racist and antiracist ideas.
