Definitely an important read! I definitely see being able to use this in schools. If not for students than for teacher professional development. My school district has recently done poorly on their anti racist audit and is looking for resources to help improve our scores.

This was very informative, interesting and had a lot of good points. I liked how it gives ways to make modifications to how one looks at what is going on in the world. This would be good for a well-meaning person to learn where there are biases and how to spot them to change moving forward.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for an advanced electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book is a four week guided journal and learning experience to begin to put in the work to becoming antiracist. There are reflection questions throughout each chapter, and it is meant to guide you and an accountability partner (or more than one) to challenge your own racist beliefs to become more of an ally. This book would be perfect for a group of white people who want to put in the work but are having trouble figuring out where to start or what to do from there. Definitely recommend!

A thorough and well researched handbook on how to undo years of institutionalised racism.

Built on self reflection and self directed learning from a comprehensive reading list.

This handbook asks the reader a series of questions over several weeks with the aim for you to do the reading reflect on your answer and be held accountable by someone else who's also doing the handbook.

While I found this useful and a great resource to return to again and again, this seemed very USA centric and there were a few odd cultural differences that I had to seek clarification on.

Overall a fantastic tool for self development and to continue on with becoming an ally.

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
