White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better by Saira Rao, Regina Jackson

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

A must read. Some of the descriptions brought such clarity to topics I had an inkling of, but didn't necessarily have the words for. Powerful, motivating, and the good kind of uncomfortable.

There are uncomfortable topics covered by this book, but they are discussed as bad things, they're not encouraged or supported in the text. E.g. there are explicit examples of cultural appropriation, but the book is pointing out why this is wrong.
