HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST

With a delivery that is sometimes measured and deliberate, sometimes declaiming, author Kendi (National Book Award winner for STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING) drives home his thesis that the only way to ensure true equality for everyone of every race is to identify and dismantle racist policies and enact explicitly antiracist policies. He frames this thinking within his own experiences, relating a series of personal racial awakenings beginning as a 7-year-old and continuing through high school, college, grad school, and beyond. There's an audible smile in his voice when Kendi recounts conversations with peers and mentors, and he's open and confessional about his own ingrained racism and failures in antiracist thinking and action. This compelling and important book will challenge and benefit anyone who chooses to listen. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2019]
