“Books I Read in 2024 Book Recs Pt. 4
Ibram X. Kendi writes in a way that brings a lot of knowledge, but still leaves the reader feeling like they’re reading a novel to be devoured. Not that we need to be entertained to learn about equality and unlearning racist structures, but it helps the learning process altogether when you’re able to read through something without feeling the need to put it down from downloading too much info in one sitting.
This is how I also recently felt when reading On Palestine by Pappé and Chomsky and Ahed Tamimi’s They Called Me a Lioness (pinned post books). It was actually a rec quote by Ibram X. Kendi on the back of They Called Me A Lioness that encouraged me to pick up Kendi’s books sooner. When a nonfiction book teaches me a ton in a way that makes it easy to read and leaves me comfortable sharing it with others because it isn’t *too dense*, it becomes a book rec I’ll often return to.
Anyway, this book, How to Raise an Antiracist is invaluable for educators, caregivers, and parents (of any race). There’s always things to learn and unlearn when the roots of our country have been founded on a hierarchy that harms everyone.”
