The author weaves his personal experiences with studies on the abstract and often unconscious thoughts Americans have regarding the outmoded concept of race. It is thought provoking, well written and very well sourced. I need to read certain sections several times to process it, but the extra effort is well worth it. A good book.

Kendi accurately paints a picture of America’s racist past, but he wants to racialist America today and in the future, essentially turning society into a prison yard. Define and separate people by race, and people will vote by race, and Donald trump will be re-elected. This is a dangerous book.

Gave this as a gift to my wife who is a Ph.D. candidate studying race. She loved it. Kendi brings racism down from the ivory tower to make dialog accessible to the average reader.

A compelling book that weaves together biography and research on racism in the US. Kendi challenges readers to be more aware of our tendency to see groups rather than individuals. Through the story of his journey from thinking like a racist to acting as an antiracist, he invites us to examine our own tendencies and change.
