Description

Our Remarkable Reads Antiracist Bundle includes:

• How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
  Transformative, life-changing and life-affirming is how we’d describe Ibram X. Kendi’s groundbreaking work How to Be an Antiracist. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history, policies and ethics behind white supremacy and systemic racism and how we can interrogate those systems in the world and in ourselves to create a more just and equitable society.

  Appropriate for ages 18+.

• Be Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
  Antiracism is not a destination but a journey–one that takes deliberate, consistent work. Ibram X. Kendi’s concept of antiracism has reenergized and reshaped the conversation about racial justice in America and pointed us toward new ways of thinking about ourselves and our society. Whether or not you’ve read How to Be an Antiracist, this stunning paperback journal offers the opportunity to reflect on your personal commitment to antiracism. Be Antiracist is both a confessional and a log of your journey toward a more equitable and just society.

  Be Antiracist helps you reflect on topics such as body, power, class, gender, and policy, as well as specific questions like, “Who or what scares you the most when you think about race?” and “How can we go about disconnecting Blackness from criminality?” and “What constitutes an American to you?” Kendi’s multipronged approach to self-reflection will challenge you to make change in yourself and your community, and contribute to an antiracist future.

  Appropriate for ages 18+ or as a guidebook for parents to use with their children.

• Stamped Racism Antiracism and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds
  At a bookseller conference, co-author Jason Reynolds was asked how to describe this book for kids. He said, “it’s the coolest book about racism you’re ever gonna read,” and it is. But this book isn’t just for kids. It’s for adults as well. If you’re new to the concept of antiracism, if you’re having trouble understanding the concepts of racist thought and history and policy in our society then this is the book for you. At the same conference Kendi said he hopes kids – but adults too – walk away with three things after reading this book: (1) that you are able to now see and recognize the inequities and injustices in our society, (2) being able to see that these inequities and injustices are not caused they by what is “wrong” with particular groups of people but rather what’s wrong with power and policies and (3) you can think through the ways in which you can be a part of the struggle against those policies and power.

  Appropriate for ages 12+.
