At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In \u003ci\u003eHow to Be an Antiracist\u003c/i\u003e, Kendi takes listeners through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help listeners see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism.

Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history.

Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, \u003ci\u003eThe Warmth of Other Suns\u003c/i\u003e is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an “unrecognized immigration” within our own land.
