ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, the author embarks on a powerful exploration of racism, weaving together personal narrative with insightful analysis. Kendi examines how racist ideas are deeply embedded within individuals and societal structures, tracing their historical roots and manifestations across various aspects of life, such as biology, ethnicity, and culture. Through his own evolving understanding, the book delves into the crucial distinction between being "not racist" and actively being antiracist, which involves the continuous work of identifying, challenging, and dismantling racist policies and practices. The narrative underscores the urgent need to shift the focus from individual prejudices to systemic power and policy change in the ongoing pursuit of racial justice.
