The New York Times calls this number 1 bestseller "a stunner of a book" and "a 21st century manual of racial ethics." The Times goes on to declare that Kendi is "on a mission to push those of us who believe we are not racists to become something else: antiracists, who support ideas and policies affirming that racial groups are equals and that there is nothing right or wrong with any racial group." Kendi includes an account of his own awakening to antiracism as a young man.
Kendi founded the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University, and currently he directs Boston University's Center for Antiracist Research. He has authored several books, including Stamped from the Beginning: the Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, winner of the 2016 National Book Award for Nonfiction.
You can find How to Be an Antiracist on Park's Social Justice Bookshelf in Beecher Hall, at our local libraries and at your bookseller of choice. Get reading!
