So You Want to Talk about Race
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 best-selling author of YOU CAN'T TOUCH MY HAIR
