So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
4.0
I didn't realize how apt the title So you want to talk about race? was until I started reading the book. Each chapter is formatted to help people understand a common issue and (or) topic of discussion, dispels myths concerning the topic, and addresses how people should deal with these conversations should they occur.
The tone of the book is very conversational as well. Oluo has sourced her material but most of it is written in an easy conversational manner that feels very much like you're just sitting down and having a conversation. It is a conversation about difficult topics, but an important conversation as well.
It is written by an American author so much of it pertains directly to American society, but it is easily applicable to Canadians and presumably to many other people. The history of these issues might be a bit different but the overall issues still apply.
