I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I'm so happy this book exists! I've been learning about some of the topics Blair covers in here but it has been haphazard and sometimes falls off my radar. But with this, I was able to read on my commute and really focus my learning. And it covers topics I hadn't reached yet, which was amazing.
As a person who benefits from a lot of our terrible systems, this was enlightening. I was able to learn about communities that I don't belong to and the ways in which I can be a better ally. And as a queer person, I had the chance to learn more about the nuances to my own community.
This book is educational while still being easily understood and I appreciated that. Blair breaks concepts and explanations down into pieces that you can digest without twisting your brain into a pretzel. The bibliography is full of resources for additional learning; I've already bookmarked areas I want to dive into. I loved the reflection questions at the end of every chapter! As soon as I found out about those, I made it a point to stop and reflect on each one. They really help you think and learn more about yourself.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It is essential reading for everyone.
