In clear, immediate prose, woven with compelling personal experiences and gripping stories from the recent and distant past, the National Book Award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi helps us map our experience of race and consciously choose to tear down systemic racism in America in How to Be an Antiracist. His goal is our goal: "to be fully human and to see that others are fully human."
