Through his own anti-racist journey, Kendi comes to the conclusion that the most effective way to combat racism is through changing policies. The reason racist policies exist is not due to ignorance or hate but self-interest and power.

A bit of a repetitious drag in the middle when Kendi explains intersectionality between race, class, sex, and gender but overall a compelling blend of narrative nonfiction and research-based findings on racist culture.

For those wanting to be antiracist, perhaps even more important are the follow-up interviews and supplementary materials that Kendi has provided since the publication of this book.
