So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
5.0
First I started listening to the audiobook. The narration was excellent, but I wanted it to slow right down so that I could absorb everything. So I checked the hard copy out the library. But I wanted to underline and make notes in a lot of the book. So I had to order myself my own copy.
This is a clear and direct guide to better understanding, discussing and agitating on issues of race. And even if you don’t agree with the author at every step immediately, it will have you thinking long and hard. My best learnings came from chapter 1 “Is it really about race?”, and the discussions of intention vs impact and tone policing.
