#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning comes a "groundbreaking" ( Time ) approach to understanding and uprooting racism and inequality in our society and in ourselves --now updated, with a new preface. "The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind."-- The New York Times ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR-- The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Shelf Awareness, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews 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.

I read this book to discover if I held any hidden prejudices against black persons, and how I might change to eliminate same. I wanted to know what a black person sees in whites. I must admit that Kendi's recounting of episodes from his personal life were most illuminating, and in reading these I began to see how racism affects the lives of African Americans. In more subtle ways than I suspected.
That said, however, Kendi's repetitive writing style and his imaginative perspective on history were less enlightening. Kendi equates capitalism with slavery, corrolating that economic configuration with the continued enslavement of blacks. This is hardly the case, as slavery has existed for at least 4000 years. Many economic systems were in play during that time period. He also indicates that racism didn't exist until the 1500's, when Africans began to be captured and shipped into slavery. This is completely untrue, as humans have a natural reaction against people that are different from their own culture.
So while Kendi's personal history, his discovery of the racism within the black community, and his choice to become antiracist are more than informative, the writing and the history presented make his treatise far less enjoyable.
