So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
4.0
A good primer for people who have had little to no experience with racism. This very much feels like a 101 course in thinking about and discussing race, which makes it a great resource to share with white friends and family.
Oluo introduces topics such as affirmative action, police brutality, and the school to prison pipeline (to name a few). Her narrative voice is frank, but still approachable and easy to understand.
However, this book is still just an introduction. It is up to the reader to take the roadmap map that Oluo provides and delve deeper into these topics with further reading.
