Kendi's argument is brilliantly simple -- Afua Hirsch * Guardian (on How To Be an Antiracist) * Transformative and revolutionary ... offers us a necessary and critical way forward -- Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility (on How To Be an Antiracist) Gives us the tools to make changes in our own lives and society at large. A must-read -- June Sarpong, author of Diversify (on How To Be an Antiracist) Vital and hopeful ... 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 * Observer (on How To Be an Antiracist) * 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 (on How To Be an Antiracist) So vital. As a society, we need to start treating antiracism as action, not emotion - and Kendi is helping us do that -- Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want to Talk About Race (on How To Be an Antiracist) No less than a road map for social change through a remarkable, personal and deeply touching journey.
