WHAT CAN I DO TO BE MORE ANTI-RACIST?

This is a question that many seemingly well intentioned White people ask people of color. Yet, it places the responsibility to educate on their peers, friends, colleagues, and even strangers, rather than themselves. If you've ever asked or been asked "What can I do to help combat racism?" then Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism is the answer you're looking for.

From the creators of the award winning podcast Dear White Women, this book breaks down the psychology and barriers to meaningful race discussions for White people, contextualizing racism throughout American history in short, targeted chapters. Sara Blanchard and Misasha Suzuki Graham bring their insights to the page with:

  • Personal narratives

  • Historical context

  • Practical tips

Dear White Women challenges readers to encounter the hard questions about race (and racism) in order to push the needle of change in a positive direction.

“Dear white women: please do us all a favor and buy this book. Buy multiple copies of this book! One for you, and one for every white friend you have. Then READ IT.”
— Kate Schatz, NYT-bestselling author of Rad American Women A-Z and Rad Women Worldwide
