A ground-breaking argument about children, racism and how to build the antiracist society of the future - from the author of the million-copy global bestseller How To Be an Antiracist

*A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*

'One of the pre-eminent intellectuals on race' OWEN JONES

How do kids think about race? How are they affected by it? At what age should we talk to them about racism? What is the best way to do that? How can we raise our children to be antiracist?

In this inspiring and deeply personal investigation, Ibram X. Kendi explains how to safeguard our children from racism and how we can all participate in fostering a new generation of antiracists.

His essential and revolutionary insight is that our instinct to protect our children from racism by not talking about it is entirely wrong. Using the science of childhood development, illustrated with his own experiences as a father, he shows that only by teaching our children about the realities of racism from the youngest age can we truly protect them and build the antiracist society of the future.

Critic Reviews

One of the US's most respected scholars of race and history (Afua Hirsch)
Our most trusted voice on antiracism reveals the critical role of parents, caregivers, and teachers in fostering either racist or antiracist attitudes in all children. Rendered intimate with stories from his own childhood and his parenting journey, Ibram X. Kendi once again lights the way. This book is as compassionate as it is cogent and timely (Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of How to Raise an Adult)
All stars
Most relevant  
This is one of the most moving, insightful, devastating and important books I’ve ever read. I don’t know how Kendi manages to maintain his optimism and faith while asking questions like “how does it feel to be preyed upon while always being seen as the predator?”… but he does, and his impassioned plea to create a world in which children of all races (yes - including white kids) can be protected from the toxic smog of racism is deeply compelling. Please read it.

Just… read it. Please.
