**THE GLOBAL MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER**
NOT BEING RACIST IS NOT ENOUGH. WE HAVE TO BE ANTIRACIST.
In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, one of the world's most influential scholars of racism, shows that neutrality is not an option: until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racism whether they realise it or not, and by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism, he shows us how instead to be a force for good. Along the way, Kendi punctures all the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality.
In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racism - what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.

Dumb blond
The most sensible, reasonable, & compassionate dialogue & teaching aid for anti racism I have heard. It should be compulsory learning, because it’s definitely compulsive listening. And I was really listening.

Powerful and Important read, terrible narration.
This is such an important read for so many reasons. The writing is clear, informative and impactful. It is a shame that they didn't hire a voice actor or orator. The intonation is stilted making for very unpleasant listening. I had to break it down into very small sections to make it palatable. I hope to be able to give the book a visual read to gain the full impact of the context.

Great book
An important message delivered in a clear and accessible style.
By weaving his personal story in among the lessons, Kendi brings the subject to life, and crucially (for me anyway!) exemplifies the importance of improving and growing through your own philosophy.

Brilliant
A brilliant breakdown in understanding that there is no neutrality in the fight against racism. Very introspective and self reflective.
