How to Be an Antiracist
by Ibram X. Kendi
challenging
informative
reflective
sad
slow-paced
Each chapter tackles a different type of racist power and policy - it's blended memoir and US history that challenges and overturns so many common and misguided tropes we carry about race. It's mostly about the history of Blacks in America, but the beginning chapters outlining his ideas about racism vs. active anti-racism (i.e., there is no such thing as passive "not racist") is universally applicable and necessary reading.
I listened to the audio version narrated by the author. His narration is well done - stylized and slow at about 11 hours. Listening at about 1.5 speed felt about the pace of other books.
