What to say about this book? it is both a beautiful journey of unwinding of the author's thoughts and understandings of racism over his education and life, and a guide for individuals to think more deeply about racist vs. antiracist policies and ideals. This book challenges many of the author's (and many Gen X/millienial) beliefs and scholarship about racism. It dives into and past the individual, the institution, the policies. and focuses on racism as a construct of power and self-interest. Some of the most powerful chapters of this book fall near the end. where the author deconstructs failures and successes. and fights for survival. I would definitely recommend this book to others wanting to think more on how to live a more honest, introspective, and actively antiracist life.

I found this book really hard to read to start with, but switching to the audiobook made it much easier to consume. A really nuanced look at racism in its many facets. I was frustrated that all the definitions included racism and anti racism in both the description and their titles, which made me mark it down a touch. I was also frustrated at the slights at people’s weights which very occasionally happened, it seemed really at odds at the inclusion messaging.
