Not being racist is not enough. We have to be antiracist.

Within this rousing and deeply empathetic reserve, Ibram X. Kendi, founding director from the Antiracism Study and Policy Center, shows that with regards to racism, neutrality is not a choice: until we become area of the alternative, we can just be part of the problem.

Using his remarkable gifts being a teacher and story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, sometimes, complicit in racism whether they about How TO BECOME an Antiracist realise it or not really, and by explaining with moving humility his own trip from racism to antiracism, he displays us how rather to be a force for good. Along the way, Kendi punctures all of the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what competition can be and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when competition intersects with ethnicity, course, gender and sexuality.

In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial culture and builds from the bottom up a vital new understanding of racism – what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.
