You are either racist or antiracist. There is nothing in between. In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, founding director of the Antiracism Research and Policy Center, shows that when it comes to racism, neutrality is not an option: until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem. Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise the occasions when have been unwittingly complicit in racism and shows us how instead to be a force for good by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism. Along the way, he punctures all the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racism - what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.

I read this book to discover if I held any hidden prejudices against black persons, and how I might change to eliminate same. I wanted to know what a black person sees in whites. I must admit that Kendi's recounting of episodes from his personal life were most illuminating, and in reading these I began to see how racism affects the lives of African Americans. In more subtle ways than I suspected.
That said, however, Kendi's repetitive writing style and his imaginative perspective on history were less enlightening. Kendi equates capitalism with slavery, corrolating that economic configuration with the continued enslavement of blacks. This is hardly the case, as slavery has existed for at least 4000 years. Many economic systems were in play during that time period. He also indicates that racism didn't exist until the 1500's, when Africans began to be captured and shipped into slavery. This is completely untrue, as humans have a natural reaction against people that are different from their own culture.
So while Kendi's personal history, his discovery of the racism within the black community, and his choice to become antiracist are more than informative, the writing and the history presented make his treatise far less enjoyable.
