While not one to typically go for non-fiction, especially anything that reeks of my most dreaded genre: self-help, I'm glad I picked this up. It was much more historical and informative than I thought it would be, and left me feeling a lot more educated and convicted to emulate what Kendi shares about anti-racism so cohesively & aptly. I also enjoyed the slight auto-biography vibe of the book. As a newbie myself in this genre/area of literature, I feel like this is a solid intro to the sociology and politics of race- very well done.
