We Gon' Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation by Jeff Chang
4.0
We Gon’ Be Alright is a stark retelling of the Ferguson protests and early Black Lives Matter movement, mixed with fresh eyes to put the movement into a transracial lens. Grateful for the lens Chang brings.
(I recommend reading this book in close succession to Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Davis.)

Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Y. Davis
5.0
Davis stitches together the freedom movements of today with ease and specificity, revealing the power of the intersectional quilt they make up. i demain ever grateful to hear her particular voice witness to us in such timeless ways.
Internment by Samira Ahmed
5.0
Like Cherie Dimaline’s “The Marrow Thieves,” Ahmed’s “Internment” weaves together a narrative that is at once recognizable and fresh. She repeats history for readers as a reminder to us: none of this is new.
Save Yourself by Cameron Esposito
5.0
Cameron offers us relatable giggles and heartfelt tales of her life before we knew her as “famously gay.” I couldn’t put this book down—the hooks at the end of each chapter! Grateful to have Cameron’s voice in the mix these days, reminding us always that we are the only ones who can really save ourselves.
Things That Make White People Uncomfortable by Dave Zirin, Michael Bennett
5.0
Michael Bennett is hilarious, poignant, challenging, humble and adorably cocky all in one breath. His writing offers the best concoction of readability and challenges to the reader.
This is my new favorite book on anti-racism.

High School by Tegan Quin, Sara Quin
5.0
It was a pleasure to spend four (did I really finish it in just four!?) days reading and listening to the Quin sisters, who I have only ever viewed as perfectly cool rockstars with cool hair. Imagine my surprise to find they are real humans who fought and argued and messed up and worked things out and loved and grew together—and their hair was sometimes off. What a privilege to get to see and hear their story together with them.
