#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Recommended by Oprah's Book Club, The
Guardian, TIME, Evening Standard, Grazia, The Telegraph, Express
and The Sun Also available: This Book Is Anti-Racist Journal, a
guided journal with more than 50 activities to support your
anti-racism journey Who are you? What is racism? Where does it come
from? Why does it exist? What can you do to disrupt it? Learn about
social identities, the history of racism and resistance against it,
and how you can use your anti-racist lens and voice to move the
world toward equity and liberation. 'In a racist society, it's not
enough to be non-racist-we must be ANTI-RACIST.' -Angela Davis Gain
a deeper understanding of your anti-racist self as you progress
through 20 chapters that spark introspection, reveal the origins of
racism that we are still experiencing and give you the courage and
power to undo it. Each lesson builds on the previous one as you
learn more about yourself and racial oppression. An activity at the
end of every chapter gets you thinking and helps you grow with the
knowledge. All you need is a pen and paper. Author Tiffany Jewell,
an anti-bias, anti-racist educator and activist, builds solidarity
beginning with the language she chooses - using gender neutral
words to honour everyone who reads the book. Illustrator Aurelia
Durand brings the stories and characters to life with kaleidoscopic
vibrancy. After examining the concepts of social identity, race,
ethnicity and racism, learn about some of the ways people of
different races have been oppressed, from indigenous Americans and
Australians being sent to boarding school to be 'civilized' to a
generation of Caribbean immigrants once welcomed to the UK being
threatened with deportation by strict immigration laws. Find hope
in stories of strength, love, joy and revolution that are part of
our history, too, with such figures as the former slave Toussaint
Louverture, who led a rebellion against white planters that
eventually led to Haiti's independence, and Yuri Kochiyama, who,
after spending time in an internment camp for Japanese Americans
during WWII, dedicated her life to supporting political prisoners
and advocating reparations for those wrongfully interned. Learn
language and phrases to interrupt and disrupt racism. So, when you
hear a microaggression or racial slur, you'll know how to act next
time. This book is written for EVERYONE who lives in this
racialised society-including the young person who doesn't know how
to speak up to the racist adults in their life, the kid who has
lost themself at times trying to fit into the dominant culture, the
children who have been harmed (physically and emotionally) because
no one stood up for them or they couldn't stand up for themselves
and also for their families, teachers and administrators. With this
book, be empowered to actively defy racism and xenophobia to create
a community (large and small) that truly honours everyone.
