White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better
by Saira Rao, Regina Jackson
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
I truly think this book should be required reading for every white woman. It's fairly comprehensive and it's so much more direct than other antiracism books I've read; there's no way you can read this without at least considering your own racism and the ways you perpetuate white supremacism.
This book isn't perfect (it weirdly never mentions capitalism despite that feeling a bit like the elephant in the room at some points) but it doesn't need to be. It's an amazing wake-up call for white women and I really think we'd make a lot more progress more quickly if we could just snap our fingers and have everyone read this. And not just read it, but really really think about how your own racism plays into this.
