I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it helped me reflect on the views I had as a black person and the areas I too have for growth in being an Antiracist.

The version of the book I listened to was an audiobook version of the paperback edition that had updated notes on previous terms and phrasings that Kendi had used in the original release. I thought the notes added transparency to Kendi's own continued research and growth on being an Antiracist and being a better ally; by him making notes and detailing how he learned why and realize the concepts he wrote about had become outdated, or that a term was harmful to the different communities addressed in the book that he previously, shows that it's always a continuous effort.

As always, I'm a fan of a book being part memoir and I enjoyed how he weaved instances in his life and how that shaped his thinking on racism, sexism, gender, and sexuality. There were moments while listening to the book I felt myself feeling frustrated because I could relate to his words, especially in the chapters where he was referencing growing up in primary school. There were moments where I felt called out and realized that maybe my thinking on a certain topic was flawed. Specifically referring to when he wrote about not placing a dislike on people or events as a whole when it was one of a few individuals that the issue lies with.

Overall, I thought it was a decently good book, and if you haven't already read it, I'd recommend it fully!
