NOT BEING RACIST IS NOT ENOUGH. WE HAVE TO BE ANTIRACIST.

'Transformative and revolutionary' ROBIN DIANGELO, author of White Fragility

'So vital' IJEOMA OLUO, author of So You Want to Talk About Race

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.

Critic reviews

Could hardly be more relevant ... it feels like a light switch being flicked on (Owen Jones)
Transformative and revolutionary ... offers us a necessary and critical way forward (Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility)
The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind
Vital... Whether you're an institution ... or an individual in moral paralysis, dumbfounded by the febrile emotions now at large ... you are not alone; hope is on its way (Colin Grant)
Shocking and provocative … he uses his personal story to make his arguments so skilfully that the book is both a memoir and a strident call to arms
An electrifying combination of ethics, history, law and science, bringing it all together with an engaging personal narrative … an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond an awareness of racism to the next step
One of the US's most respected scholars of race and history... Kendi's argument is brilliantly simple ... His honesty ... is one of the most powerful elements in this compelling book (Afua Hirsch)
Gives us the tools to make changes in our own lives and society at large. A must-read (June Sarpong, author of Diversify)
Makes clear how we all must engage in the essential soul-searching to understand our own racism and the personal action required to become antiracist (Lord Herman Ouseley, former Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality and of Kick It Out)
This is no guidebook to getting woke ... Never wavering, Kendi methodically examines racism through numerous lenses: power, biology, ethnicity, body, culture, and so forth. This unsparing honesty helps readers, both white and people of colour, navigate this difficult intellectual territory. Essential
All stars
Most relevant
A wonderful, in-depth look at how we got in this mess of racism and inequality, but most importantly, what we need to do to get out of it again.
A powerful read which no one should be able to go without, and call themselves “educated”.
