"Race is a power construct." There's truth to this statement, which hit me like a ton of bricks. I learned a lot from the perspective of a white woman. I think the target audience was meant for high school-aged black people, but I think that white people can learn something too. I wanna say that these books and other books like it should be in schools as a learning curriculum, but I don't know if a majority of parents are ready for that.

For a YA Non-fiction novel, this one is great. Admittedly, non-fiction is not my favorite genre, but when the topic is as important as this one than I make sure to read it so that I can continue to be an ally!
I borrowed this one from my public library and Nic Stone narrating just makes the book that much better!
Definitely recommend for Middle Grade or Young Adult readers and libraries.

Excellent book for young people on becoming an anti racist written by Ibram C. Kendi, who wrote a book of the same title for adults. This one seemed a bit dumbed down. I preferred the original.

I’ll be curious to hear what students think of this nonfiction how-to self-help narrative of Ibram X Kendi’s life and antiracism work. I liked Nic Stone’s narrative style, interspersed with little notes and bolder definitions. Important.

This book was basically a recap of How To Be An Antiracist, but summarized for younger readers. In what I thought was an interesting choice, the book is written as if Nic, the narrator, is telling Kendi his life story. He is addressed as “you” and at first I was confused – was he addressing himself? Was the “you” meant to be the audience? I wasn’t sure if this style helped the book to be more understandable for young readers. For me, a recap of How To Be an Antiracist wasn’t a bad thing! In this book, Kendi reflects on a speech he made while in high school and how that speech reinforced racist beliefs. At the end of the book, suggestions are made as to what he could have said differently to change his speech to acknowledge that what he was saying was were racist ideas and not truths. I think this book and his other books make can make you acknowledge times you upheld racist beliefs and think about what you could have done differently.
