Me and White Supremacy shows readers how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of colour, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.
When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #MeAndWhiteSupremacy, she never predicted it would spread as widely as it did. She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviours, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people participated, and over 90,000 people downloaded the book.
The updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and further resources.
Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that readers are ready to do this work - let's give it to them.
Customer Reviews
Informative and challenging
Though this book calls to attention some aspects of myself and the culture I am a part of that I dislike, it led to some important introspection and growth that I’m thankful for. There is the option for a group reading guide, which I think is helpful for people who process verbally with others. This book requires being open! Don’t start it until you’re ready to acknowledge your white privilege and prejudices.
Terrible
Honestly I can believe how ridiculous the concept of this book is, conveniently slants the prism of history to make points to suit their agenda.
Author is racist.
Terrible. I’m proud to be white.
