So You Want to Talk About Race

 by Ijeoma Oluo 50% off

In this New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a hard-hitting but user-friendly examination of race in America

Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy--from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans--has put a media spotlight on racism in our society.

 Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair--and how do you make it right? 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 intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.

"Oluo gives us--both white people and people of color--that language to engage in clear, constructive, and confident dialogue with each other about how to deal with racial prejudices and biases."--National Book Review

"Generous and empathetic, yet usefully blunt . . . it's for anyone who wants to be smarter and more empathetic about matters of race and engage in more productive anti-racist action."--Salon (Required Reading)

Review

Narrator Bahni Turpin's impassioned voice clearly conveys the gravity of this book on race and racism...Turpin walks listeners through each chapter, allowing them time to absorb the impact of topics from Affirmative Action to police brutality...[and] Turpin engagingly reads real-life examples Oluo uses to illustrate complex concepts such as intersectionality and white privilege...Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.

-- "AudioFile"

Important and relevant. Police brutality, micro-aggressions at the workplace, and affirmative action are all grist for the verbal mill. Narrator Turpin has a soothing voice and reads with authority, understanding, and passion...Both narrator and author are worth seeking out again.

-- "Los Angeles Times (audio review)"

Read it, then recommend it to everyone you know.

-- "Harper's Bazaar"

Oluo takes on the thorniest questions surrounding race, from police brutality to who can use the 'N' word.

-- "New York Times"

While so many people want to become 'thought leaders, ' 'bloggers, ' or even just 'influential, ' Oluo is eons past that.

-- "Forbes"

A unique attempt to bridge the gap between Americans who talk and think regularly about race in America and those who don't-most typically, white people...Impassioned and unflinching.

-- "Vogue"

Delivers a punch while describing the realities of blackness in America.

-- "Bust magazine"

Precise, poignant, and edifying, this primer gives readers much-needed tools...and offering concrete ways to confront racism...[while] blending personal accounts and meticulously cited research...This is essential reading.

-- "School Library Journal (starred review)"

Insightful and trenchant but not preachy...A topical book in a time when racial tensions are on the rise.

-- "Publishers Weekly"

A clear and candid contribution to an essential conversation.

-- "Kirkus Reviews" --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.
