Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla Saad

I found this book less illuminating than books I've read about race by other authors -- for example, Ijeoma Oluo, Austin Channing Brown, and especially Michael Eric Dyson-- possibly because those books involve stories through memoir or history, while this book is purely an analysis of white culture and how we/I participate in it. But that said, I learned some things. Saad is especially good on cultural appropriation, for example, a topic which has confused me in some other contexts. An oft-repeated phrase I will remember from this book: when anti-racism work is making you uncomfortable, remember how uncomfortable racism is for people of color. But overall, if you only want to read one book about race, I don’t think this should be the one.
