I think this is a must read. Kendi offers such an in depth look at racism in America, from the 1500s right up to present day. I genuinely cannot recommend this enough. It has so much to offer. I genuinely don't know how he managed to cram so much information into a less than 500 page book without it feeling too brief or vague. It flows beautifully well. He doesn't talk down to the reader, but he explains everything in a very straightforward way that makes it incredibly easy to follow for a book that covers six centuries of history.

My one issue was definitely a personal thing. I simply didn't understand this enough to feel honest about rating it five stars. Audiobooks are lower comprehension for me in general, but I was listening to this on a lengthy road trip and could not focus as much as I needed to. I would really like to pick up the physical book at some point and give this a reread. I think that would help solidify the points that lost me. Again, it really wasn't a difficult read, it was just the way I was reading it.

Highly recommend. Like if you're trying to educate yourself on antiracism, for sure pick this one up. It benefited me greatly.
