Read This to Get Smarter About Race, Class, Gender, Disability, and More by Blair Imani

4.0

informative medium-paced

---

There is a lot of information in this book written in a very accessible way. I can definitely see excerpts from this book being helpful for teachers to provide background for novel studies or social studies units. I especially appreciated the information and short explanations of what language should be avoided and why since sometimes you hear that a term is offensive but because you don't have enough context on the history of its usage, you don't get why it is a problem--this book does a great job of explaining what to avoid and why.
