In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a
revelatory examination of race in America
Protests against
racial injustice and white supremacy have galvanized millions around
the world. The stakes for transformative conversations about race
could not be higher. Still, the task ahead seems daunting, and it’s
hard to know where to start. How do you tell your boss her jokes are
racist? Why did your sister-in-law hang up on you when you had
questions about police reform? How do you explain white privilege to
your white, privileged friend?
In So You Want to
Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through
subjects ranging from police brutality and cultural appropriation to
the model minority myth in an attempt to make the seemingly
impossible possible: honest conversations about race, and about how
racism infects every aspect of American life.
"Simply put:
Ijeoma Oluo is a necessary voice and intellectual for these times,
and any time, truth be told." ―Phoebe Robinson, New York Times
bestselling author of You Can't Touch My Hair
