    Description

    A current, constructive, and actionable exploration of today's racial landscape, offering straightforward clarity that listeners of all races need to contribute to the dismantling of the racial divide 

    In So You Want to Talk About Race, editor-at-large of The Establishment Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality, micro-aggressions, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the "N" word. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions listeners don't dare ask and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans. 

    Oluo is an exceptional writer with a rare ability to be straightforward, funny, and effective in her coverage of sensitive, hyper-charged issues in America. Her messages are passionate but finely tuned and crystallize ideas that would otherwise be vague by empowering them with aha-moment clarity. Her writing brings to mind voices like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Roxane Gay, Jessica Valenti in Full Frontal Feminism, and a young Gloria Naylor, particularly in Naylor's seminal essay "The Meaning of a Word". A Harper's Bazaar pick of One of 10 Books to Read in 2018.

    Commentaires

    "Narrator Bahni Turpin's impassioned voice clearly conveys the gravity of this book on race and racism.... Key points are repeated to help listeners absorb ideas and definitions, and Turpin engagingly reads real-life examples Oluo uses to illustrate complex concepts such as intersectionality and white privilege."

    An Important Must-Read, but Worse than Expected

    I have mixed feelings about the book.
    On the one hand, I believe it is a must-read for anyone in the U.S., and a highly recommended read for anyone outside the U.S.
    At the very least, it will give you a good perspective into the racial tensions in the U.S. and a good understanding of how it is seen by the activists of the African American community. Many eye-opening examples and explanations.
    On the other hand, the book is not particularly engaging. Justifiably, it is filled with rants and complaints. However, I felt the case could have been made more strongly with more statistics and references to more studies. The book felt like a rally speech, and less like a piece of scholarly work.
    Still, highly recommend. It was a good use of my time.

    Microagression To Whites

    I read this book with my black friends at a book club hoping to be part of the solution and learn about my own hidden biases. For every good point there were several "microagression" against ME. Even my POC friends were embarrassed that I had to be insulted in front of them. And they were insulted that she assumes all black people have the same political views. They didnt.
    We have agreed to put into practice those few good suggestions in the book and forget the rest of it.
    My black friends apologized to ME instead of the other way aroumd.

    A Reminder to Read Books that Make You Uncomfortable

    Yes, conversations about race are awkward to hard and even hurtful and I’m not thrilled to be categorized as a white supremacist simply because I am white but even with all that discomfort, confusion, eyebrow raises, and slack jawed moments I experienced while listening I have to say my world feels bigger after reading this. My perspective is changed. I didn’t understand or even recognize my own racism or white privilege. I have not had to confront racism and I have not seen the part in it that I have played or know what action I could take to change. I am asking questions of myself and assumptions I’ve made about a range of other issues because if I didn’t see this, what else am I not seeing? I feel very blessed to have come across Oluo’s book and will continue to follow her work. I also feel compelled to share that the narration is top notch.

    Entertaining and wise.

    I was hesitant to this book because I am a biracial black woman in America and I wasn't sure this book was written for me or that I would have much to gain from it. Being mixed race often leaves you in the world of the 'other'. Often books on race are written to educate white people or vindicate poc. But this does that, but it expands into so much more than that. Everyone can be educated and maybe even find vindication in this guide to constructive conversation.

    It was also nice that it felt as if Bahni Turpin really identified with and embodied the work. Thanks for the great read.

    Critical and a must read

    At the risk of being just another white woman talking about how a book on race makes her feel...this book made me feel a lot. I consider myself a feminist and over the last year have learned much about intersectionality, and how I cannot fight for the rights of women without also including other marginalized people. But I do not have many people of color in my life. My social media feed is made up of mostly white liberal women. I didn’t feel comfortable talking about race, suspecting I was probably a little racist myself. I found this book on a list of must-read books on race. The chapter headings immediately hooked me. These were the questions I wanted to ask, and didn’t know how.

    Ijeoma presents the information calmly and with some humor but also with the underlying steel and passion that evokes a real emotional response to many tragic topics. She answers questions and brings up additional information I had never previously considered. I believe everyone should read this book and begin to take action in their communities.

    Must read for white folks

    I have done a lot of work on my privilege and racial bias (and I still have a LONG way to go) and books like this are so helpful, great reminders and calls to action, I will be rereading it again soon and asking all of my church staff to read it as well!

    More of the same

    Typical race baiting garbage expected of the left. The author of this book is one of those “politically correct racists” because they attack white people, while unsurprisingly negating any self-responsibility of any other party.

    Save yourself a brainwashing. The goal of this book is to encourage you to grovel at the feet of people who hate you. Want to do something more productive with your time? Look at objective data and statistics, because all of the answers are there. Start with things dealing with abortion rates, out-of-wedlock birth rates, crime and IQ.

    Or, you know, just watch an episode of Cops. Or go outside in a city.

    Excellent book, excellently narrated.

    Ijeoma Oluo has a gift for delivering hard medicine with humor and sensitivity. If you are a white person who wants to do better, this is a perfect primer on how (and when) to have conversations about race without doing more harm than good.

    And Bahni Turpin is an impeccable narrator. She reads with a clarity and conviction that makes the content feel completely fresh, like a conversation, rather than a reading. A perfect fit with Ijeoma Oluo's writing style, too.

    a white blue caller man trying to understand BLM

    a tough read, certainly felt my blood pressure rising at times,. but I'm not sure what the point of this book was, a little math I'm a union electrician, I think it's fair to say I'm very average., I make 34.99 a hour so my black brothers and sisters make 3.50 to maybe 7 bucks a hour? and The inherint violence and blatent sexuality in rap is exclusively due to second rate White rappers just there to make a buck? and it's wrong to dress up for Halloween because of cultural appropriation but if you dress up like a European your a racist? because kids don't dress up like something they love and want to know more about but let's make it an adult holiday so we can argue about that too. and angry students? you have never listened to white male music have you? (I don't much either it's to angry) between the words privilege and systematic racism you have very neatly decided excatly what all white people are and the only reason white people are successful is because in every situation there's a winner and a looser and since we've made black people the looser we get to be the winner. it's strange, if I want to talk about race I'm supposed to get to know the other culture and as a white man your lack of any understanding on any level of the white paradyme is profound, to use your words, your cultural appropriation is profound and on a last note that you would suppose our epically under funded, under staffed and over sized classroom sized schools don't talk about slavery and the civil rights movement and black suffrage I'm not sure we're you've been, not at school

    Illuminating & Necessary

    As a white male reading this in 2020, it was crucial to expose myself to perspectives I don’t hear often enough. While uncomfortable and difficult to process at times, I think this excellent book is a necessary read for anyone wanting to be part of the solution for racial justice. Well-written, practical and unfortunately just as relevant and topical today as it was when it came out in 2018. Highly recommended.

    Very helpful

    First of all I want to say that I really enjoyed the voice actor. They did a great job.

    The book covers a lot of the basic questions and topics about race. It explains them and it even often offers advice and tips and gives insight into the life of a black person and shares their experiences. As someone who is white that was really helpful and even though I thought I was well informed about rasicm and race, I still learned new things.
    I really enjoyed the advice of how to approach certain conversations and topics and how to have these conversations.

    Also as someone who is not from the US, I learned a lot about rasicm in Amerika. Some of the problems that were mentioned are also 1 to 1 existing in my country, others not so much. But in general I gained a better understanding of rasicm in general and in the US.

    Yes, in this book you will probably hear some unpleasant statements and yes you will probably be sometimes very emotional and maybe defeated but you will also learn so, so much.

    Also, yes, not all topics are covered extremely thorough. Each chapter of the audiobook centers around a certain question like "What are microaggression? " or "Why can't I touch your hair?" and so on. These topics will be given a certain amount of time and the questions will be answered, explained and discussed. It gives you a general overview. If you want more in depth information to some topics that you found interesting in this book, you just have to seek out more information and google stuff.

    Who would I recommend this book towards? Every English understanding person to be honest.
    If you already know a lot about race, this book is a good way to refresh your memorys on certain topics or to have a source that answers the basic questions and offers advice.
    If you are someone who wants to start to learn more about race, this is a great place to start because it gives you a general overview, answers the basic questions and offers advice.
    So I think everyone will get something out of it. (Please keep in mind that I can't tell how helpful this book is for a black person or a person of color. I can just say that this book is directed to a broad audience of all races and that it gives encouragement.)

    Going in the wrong direction

    For somebody who writes about racism professionally, the author is suprisingly bad at describing the whole picture. An example: The dropout quote for black students is extraordinarily high. According to the book, there are TWO explanations for this: EITHER black people are evil and aggressive by nature OR american schools discriminate black students. You can not simplify it that drastically. Even if all people had the same color by tomorrow, families from poor neighborhoods would struggle to succeed in the school system. A similar point is made a few chapters earlier but is forgotton all of a sudden. Similar problems occur when Twitter is discussed without mentioning social media bubbles. At one point assuming a racist intention of a cop seems to be justified whenever a black person feels discriminized, without any particular reason regarding the police officer.
    I understand how a book about racism can be, maybe should be, about subjective experiences the author has made. However, there are too many situations in which people are considered racist without giving any reasons. I do not want to defend these people but critisize this book for not going all the way with an argument most of the time, leaving the reader not only with anger about racism but also with anger about a too simplistic approach to the topic.
