Antiracism is a transformative
concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even
more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about
ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates
false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from
the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we
treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism
intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see
and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a
widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary
possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly,
understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems
and in ourselves.
Kendi weaves an electrifying
combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of
awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go
beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation
of a just and equitable society.
Praise
for How to Be an Antiracist
“Ibram X. Kendi’s new book, How
to Be an Antiracist, couldn’t come at a better time. . . . Kendi has gifted us
with a book that is not only an essential instruction manual but also a memoir
of the author’s own path from anti-black racism to anti-white racism and,
finally, to antiracism. . . . How to Be
an Antiracist gives us a clear and compelling way to approach, as Kendi puts it
in his introduction, ‘the basic struggle we’re all in, the struggle to be fully
human and to see that others are fully human.’ ”—NPR
“Kendi dissects why in a
society where so few people consider themselves to be racist the divisions and
inequalities of racism remain so prevalent. How to Be an Antiracist punctures
the myths of a post-racial America, examining what racism really is—and what we
should do about it.”—Time
