![]() ![]() ![]() I’m going, to be honest, I didn’t understand most of these concepts before reading this book. Each chapter brings you closer to the realization of how people of color are treated in the US.Ī few of the chapters that stood out to me are the ones on privilege, intersectionality, the school-to-prison pipeline, and microaggressions. The author brings in her life experience into each chapter of the book, whether it’s about her conversations with her white mother, her experience with racism in the workplace, and in dealings with the police. However, we must become uncomfortable if we want change to happen. It was often hard for me to read, mostly because I felt horrified about how people of color have been treated and for being naive in my thinking. If there’s ever a book to read to understand race, it’s this book. ![]() Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve always understood what racism is, but as a white female in California, I wasn’t sure of what I could do to help in this social revolution. In light of the Black Lives Matter movement that grows stronger each day, I wanted to take some time to learn and educate myself on racism. ![]() I’m excited to share today’s book review of “ So You Want To Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo with you all today. ![]()
