I really enjoyed this book a lot. The various chapters are by various authors, so if you don't like one chapter by one author, you may still like the others, but I liked them all (and I think I read them all, although because I was assigned them out of order, it's not impossible I missed one and don ...more
My school chose to read this book as a required staff reading for faculty/staff this summer. It's a compilation of short, powerful essays written by experts who are engaged in the work of antiracism within education everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed each essay, the questions posed at the end of each es ...more
While I liked this book as a book, I thought that reading it for a class was a little crazy. It has all these little three page chapters with a practical idea of how to consider or confront racism. This makes reading go really fast, but when you're reading 50 or these per week, it also made them un- ...more
I’ve been chipping away at this book for the past 11 months. I definitely like to read non-fiction slowly, especially when the book is packed with information like this one. This book is a behemoth.

I got so much more out of the book through these discussions. I found that many of the strategies described in the text are more geared toward middle school ...more
Really a rich book with lots of information, written by many great authors in the field. It was a collection of 2-3 pages of short essays so it was really easy to dip into read a little bit and come back to it later. While it is a long and detailed book this format made the book super approachable. ...more
This is one of my favorite books I’ve read on anti-racism. For beginners, I’d start somewhere else- this book does give some explanation on more basic anti-racism concepts, but is more focused on how educators can apply anti-racist principles in their class ...more
I read this book for a class, and I am so glad our professor required it. It provides insightful and actionable thoughts about being anti-racist educator. I will apply what I learned in the classroom and in life. ...more
