“I want to take a moment now to check in with you and ask how you might be feeling. Have you noticed any feelings of discomfort while reading this chapter? If so, don’t worry—it’s perfectly normal to feel uncomfortable addressing racism.” This inviting tone is one of the hallmarks of a work that grounds readers in essential history to better understand how what happened in the past has shaped where we are today with regard to racism. The author is mindful of the many ways readers might feel, depending on their identity and experience to-date, and often shares personal examples of her own journey and ongoing learning. A work that addresses racism’s impact on people across various racial and ethnic identities includes chapters on unlearning racism, the origins of white supremacy, Native displacement and genocide, slavery, immigration policies, and the legal system, as well as racist images, and sports. A final chapter, “How You Can Change the Racial Future,” begins by looking at the racial disparities of the current pandemic before moving onto action ideas. Lengthy source notes and an index concludes this work that strives to welcome all readers into understanding and taking action. (Age 12 and older)
