'An indispensable resource for white people who want to challenge
white supremacy but don't know where to begin' Robin DiAngelo,
author of New York Times bestseller WHITE FRAGILITY 'It should be
mandatory reading ... Buy the book, do the work and then push more
copies into the hands of everyone you know' Emma Gannon
'Confrontational and much-needed' Stylist 'She is no-joke changing
the world and, for what it's worth, the way I live my life.' Anne
Hathaway ___________ Me and White Supremacy shows readers how to
dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop
(often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of colour, and in
turn, help other white people do better, too. When Layla Saad began
an Instagram challenge called #MeAndWhiteSupremacy, she never
predicted it would spread as widely as it did. She encouraged
people to own up and share their racist behaviours, big and small.
She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people
participated, and over 90,000 people downloaded the book. The
updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper
by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving
stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions,
examples, and further resources. Awareness leads to action, and
action leads to change. The numbers show that readers are ready to
do this work - let's give it to them.
'This book should be mandatory reading for all young people' -
Pragya Agarwal 'I wish this book had been around when I was a kid.
. . If every child read it, the world would be transformed. This
book will make the world a much better place for all of us' -
Mikaela Loach 'Full of knowledge, cultural reference points and
practical guidance, I will absolutely be referring to this in my
own anti-racism journey and encourage others to do so too' -
Jeffrey Boakye _________________ Me and White Supremacy has sold
over 150,000 copies and was shortlisted for the Non-Fiction Book of
the Year award at the British Book Awards. Now, with this YA
edition, Layla will help younger readers to feel more confident
talking about white supremacy and antiracism. Layla gives them the
knowledge and practical tools they need to help change the world,
now and for the generations that come after them. Me and White
Supremacy became one of the most talked about books of 2020. It
isn't just a book that you read, it is a book that you do, and it
has the power to make you question the world you live in whilst
giving you the tools to do something to change it. In this Young
Adult edition, Layla has completely reworked the original to
address readers of 11+ and of all races to help them explore and
better understand racism. The book is based on the understanding
that it is important for all young people to understand these
topics, so they can grow into adults who know how to have
conversations about race and racism as well as how to work together
collectively to create an antiracist world. Like the original book,
this edition guides readers through the different concepts that
contribute to white supremacy and explores how they can help
dismantle it to create a fairer world. It is written in such a way
that it can be worked through together as a group, in class, or
individually, and over any period of time.
Recognise Your Privilege, Combat Racism and Change the World with Me
and White Supremacy
Layla F. Saad wrote Me and White Supremacy to encourage people who hold
white privilege to examine their (often unconscious) racist thoughts
and behaviours through a unique, 28-day reflection process. This guided
journal, which is to be used in tandem with the book and includes the
book's original weekly prompts and lots of space for note-taking, is
the perfect place to continue your antiracism journey. You will unpack:
- Week One: White Privilege; White Fragility; Tone Policing;
White Silence; White Superiority; White Exceptionalism
- Week Two: Color Blindness; Anti-Blackness against Black
Women, Black Men, and Black Children; Racist Stereotypes; Cultural
Appropriation
- Week Three: White Apathy; White Centering; Tokenism; White
Saviorism; Optical Allyship; Being Called Out/Called In
- Week Four: Friends; Family; Values; Losing Privilege; Your
Commitments.
Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. Create the
change the world needs by creating change within yourself.
