How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
NYT Notable Books 2019: 14/100
This was a solid read and intro to the concept of antiracism. I appreciated the range of topics Kendi covered, and the amount of intersectionality he acknowledged. I thought he approached topics in a way that makes them accessible to someone who may be coming in with little or no knowledge. It's interesting to see though how much has already changed since this book was written (not in a good way unfortunately). Five years is a long time in the history of the world I guess.
