In Antiracism as Daily Practice, Jennifer Harvey provides a guide for white people to begin practical steps towards antiracist actions that can create change in our their communities. Harvey is vulnerable and honest, speaking as a person both with an extensive academic background, and also as a white person who has also been imperfect in their own journey towards antiracism and advocacy for racial justice. This book provides an intersectional guide towards acting with intentionality, constructive self-reflection, and sustainable means by which to commit to antiracism as a collective community for radical justice. It felt liberating to see the opportunity for open discussions of shame, fear, and self-doubt through which negative emotions can be utilized to create real positive change.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the midst of their journey in unlearning their own internalized racism, or who is unsure about how to go about their next steps towards social justice in their own community.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC of this book!

Fantastic! It offers lots of practical applications. There's a lot of information to take in that may will be new to some but not to others. The content is handled perfectly for either group. No matter where you may be on your antiracism journey this is a helpful tool to keep in your tool box.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the eARC.

This book has excellent guidance for thinking through how antiracism can present in our lives. I appreciate the normalization of the mistakes many of us make in the early days, while still pushing us to dig deeper and take the learning further.

Thank you to @netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for the chance to review Antiracism as a Daily Practice by Jennifer Harvey. This is an extremely timely book, well-written in a way that is honest yet vulnerable. The reader is prompted to take action - for example, to do an audit of the voices they listen to and to consider a racial experience and to ponder how things might have gone differently. The author describes how one can move beyond white fragility to do the work of bringing about change. Harvey references other important social justice work, and reminded the reader that “anger is a sign some part of our humanity is still intact… is being activated”. Excellent storytelling requires that the reader look at systems of racism and consider how they can make change starting an individual level.

I was so happy to see a follow-up from Jennifer's Harvey-How to Raise White Kids and my high expectations were met with the practical strategies in this book. I can't wait to recommend and share it widely.

I so appreciated Jennifer’s candor and realization that antiracism is a daily practice (and not a fixed destination one can arrive at after a few book clubs, moments of allyship, or even years as a practitioner). There were vulnerable moments throughout that showed missteps without languishing in a space of guilt or shame. For Jennifer’s target audience, this is a critical point. We cannot progress as a collective if we don’t embrace a spirit of dismantling, getting comfortable with discomfort at times, and looking for opportunities to create community by pulling people in instead of shunning or demonizing them. Of course, this isn’t always easy to do in today’s world, but that doesn’t make it any less necessary.

What a powerful read and I would definitely recommend this to everyone and anyone looking for a great antiracism read!

I’m not white but I am in a “model minority” group that benefits from white supremacy and there is plenty of racism and colorism in my community as well. I do think this book can also be illuminating for those that are not white but still battling racism in their communities. This is definitely a book meant for those that have already begun their antiracism journey and are looking for some structure and guidance on how to go about it. I believe the author does this with respect and delicacy and with the understanding of how well meaning actions can quickly derail and actually cause harm. She is honest about times when she herself could have done better and the lessons she learned. There are several anecdotes from her own life and the lives of those she knows, as well as practical steps to take at the end of each chapter.

Thank you #netgalley for providing the e-ARC for review.

It is not the responsibility of the BIPOC community to end racism, they didn't come up with it us white people did. Unlearning white supremacy is an imperfect work in progress. The only way to fail is to stop learning. Read this book.

I just reviewed Antiracism as Daily Practice by Jennifer Harvey. #NetGalley

I love the way this book is laid out. Having a section at the end of each chapter that takes the reader out of the book and into their real life is a great way to encourage real change. Personally, I love it when books give me homework!

This book had decent length chapters. It was informative, well-written and thought provoking. It obviously addressed important topics and themes.

This book was exactly what I needed to get in gear and be an active coconspirator in antiracism instead of a passive book club reader, I started to take notes but almost every page started to be highlighted with important info that I wanted to immediately share with the group at work that comes together monthly to learn and act as allies. It’s a must have for any person who wants to stand up against racism and it offers very easy bite-sized chunks of info and steps to action, no matter where you are in the antiracism journey. Highly recommended!

This is only valuable if one wants to learn the existing beliefs and attitudes of the woke left. The author appears to be completely unaware of the growing body of scientific evidence that race is a biological trait that has primarily an additive genetic basis. More, importantly, the author appears to be deeply concerned about the race achievement gap that she believes is attributable to racism and white supremacy. But she does not appear to be aware that the very dark-skinned immigrants from southern Asia (India & Pakistan) have the very highest level of incomes in the US, much higher than whites. Apparently, Ms. Harvey's imagined racism has ignored this cohort of American citizens. Finally, "Antiracism as Daily Practice" reads much like an autobiography, and the genre of biography and autobiography is one that I have never enjoyed.

If you have been reading and learning/unlearning on your anti-racism journey then this book will be another one to add your reading list.
Dr Harvey digs deep into personal history and stories and gives ideas for daily practices for anti racism.
In the end of the book you can also find a list of other books and podcasts that might help you on your journey.

Antiracism as Daily Practice gave me so many ideas for how to transform my day-to-day lifestyle in favor of intersectionality and genuine allyship. Although I do listen to Black voices first and foremost, the author was able to speak about the experience of being white and deconstructing embedded racism within our communities with grace and skill. I appreciated the lists of ideas for how to support Black and Indigenous people (and people of global majority in general).

This is a book that you will want to highlight and tab in, so that you can go back to them and make sure you are putting them into practice. The sheer volume of information was a lot to take in, so it is more of a reference book after the first time you read it than a "one and done" kind of book. I learned and benefited from Jeniffer Harvey's insights and personal stories and will integrate her suggestions as part of my commitment to being a better ally and co-creating the best version of this world that I can.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers at St. Martin's Press for sending me an e-ARC! This book can help you transform feelings of helplessness into the confidence it takes to be the best version of yourself you can be.

What a great book, This is on my recommended book list and one that I know will be an asset to my workplace.

Harvey explains the many ways white Americans—those newly waking to the crisis of racism in 2020 and those already aware—can choose behaviors in our everyday lives to grow racial justice.
Truly a remarkable piece of nonfiction.

I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read this ahead of its publication date in return for my honest review.

Inspirational and wise, a step by step guide for white Americans to build the skills to address white socialization and grow their commitment to racial justice.

Books like this should be required reading for every white person in America.

A very inspiring and impactful book. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to deepen their antiracism work!
