AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

In 20 short lessons, readers learn about identity - personal and social; race and ethnicity, prejudice and history - including microagressions; resisting racism, what to do when you see injustice and so much more. Disrupt, interrupt, stand together - be an anti-racist youth!

Tiffany Jewell has written for children of color who need the words to speak up for themselves and others, especially when the adults in their lives have racist ideas. Young people will be empowered as they work through the activities. A wonderful resource for the classroom. Work is done in students' notebooks, so This Book is Anti-Racist can be used over and over. I did the activities as I read, and it's changed me - I see things differently, am more sensitive to bias and am ready to speak up.
