Could hardly be more relevant ... it feels like a light switch
being flicked on
*Owen Jones*
Transformative and revolutionary ... offers us a necessary and
critical way forward
*Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility*
The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the
Western mind
*New York Times*
Vital... Whether you're an institution ... or an individual in
moral paralysis, dumbfounded by the febrile emotions now at large
... you are not alone; hope is on its way
*Observer*
Shocking and provocative … he uses his personal story to make his
arguments so skilfully that the book is both a memoir and a
strident call to arms
*Irish Times*
An electrifying combination of ethics, history, law and science,
bringing it all together with an engaging personal narrative … an
essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond an awareness of
racism to the next step
*The Voice*
One of the US's most respected scholars of race and history...
Kendi's argument is brilliantly simple ... His honesty ... is one
of the most powerful elements in this compelling book
*Guardian*
Gives us the tools to make changes in our own lives and society at
large. A must-read
*June Sarpong, author of Diversify*
Makes clear how we all must engage in the essential soul-searching
to understand our own racism and the personal action required to
become antiracist
*Lord Herman Ouseley, former Chair of the Commission for Racial
Equality and of Kick It Out*
This is no guidebook to getting woke ... Never wavering, Kendi
methodically examines racism through numerous lenses: power,
biology, ethnicity, body, culture, and so forth. This unsparing
honesty helps readers, both white and people of colour, navigate
this difficult intellectual territory. Essential
*Kirkus*
So vital. As a society, we need to start treating antiracism as
action, not emotion - and Kendi is helping us do that
*Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk About Race*
No less than a road map for social change through a remarkable,
personal and deeply touching journey. If you take the business of
fighting oppression seriously and want to make a difference, this
is something you need to read
*Leslie Thomas, QC*
One of the pre-eminent intellectuals on race
*Owen Jones*
Groundbreaking, brilliant, fearless
*Observer*
You should read it for its arguments about what racism is. Nor
should you dodge it on the basis that you knew all this already –
like me, you almost certainly didn't
*The Times*
Lucid, accessible, unyielding. Kendi’s most important insight might
help rethink anti-racist activism
*New Statesman*
Bracingly original… Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism
reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in
America and—even more fundamentally—points us toward liberating new
ways of thinking about ourselves and each other
*With Guitars*
Everyone should have a copy of this important, poignant and timely
book
*Amnest International UK*
A work of immense moral authority, brilliantly told, it's deeply
humane, revolutionary, essential
*History Today*
An incredible book
