So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
The author is a black woman who uses a straightforward honest approach to her book. It is centered on how to help “people understand race better” and be able to “navigate conversations on race”.
The chapters are constructed around a question such as “What if I talk about race wrong?”, “What is the model minority myth?”, or “Is police brutality really about race?” that might have puzzled readers and perhaps they wanted to ask a person of color. The chapters will help readers challenge their own views or help to be better prepared to enter into a conversation where their views have been challenged.
We recommend this easy-to-read book as a way to open the door to conversations about racism.
