Be Antiracist

A Journal for Awareness, Reflection and Action

In this interactive workbook, one of the world's leading experts in antiracism, Ibram X. Kendi, author of the global bestseller How To Be an Antiracist, provides a series of questions, written exercises, quotes and provocations to help us absorb the key principles of antiracist behaviour and to embed them in our daily thoughts and actions. Kendi's powerful voice and gifts as a teacher combine with arresting graphic design to provide a vital tool for anyone who takes the necessity of being antiracist seriously. The journal can be used in groups as a teaching aid but is also ideal as a resource for individuals.

One of the US's most respected scholars of race and history... Kendi's argument is brilliantly simple
