An incredibly thorough, thoughtful and detailed account of anti-racism -- I have kept this book open on my Kindle app for the last 3 years and have continued to read, reference and reread it since then. Well worth your time.

perhaps one of the best 'manuals' to confront and overcome the 'new racism' of the alt-right and the violence of white nationalism

Thought-provoking, important and relevant read for audiences of all ages and all walks of life needs to read. It delves deep beneath the surface of racism, how to unlearn racist and cultural appropriation that was taught in society, intersectionality, and more. I recommend this for everyone, especially in today's political and social climate. We can all learn something from it.

Academic -- maybe a little too academic for the average reader especially now when there's so much great work being done for the trade on the subject.

This was pretty boring to me. A little long for an introduction. I feel like this language isn’t really accesible for everyone. Important topic that everyone should read about though.

A really good study detailing American anti-racism. It is a much-needed book at this moment and it details current events, as well as history of anti-racism in the US. It would be great to have more about the non-US context, but I understand that it wasn't the point of the study. This study is written in an easy to understand manner so it's not just for academia.

Antiracism by Alex Zamalin is a thoughtful and thorough examination of the Antiracism movement. The book is definitely academic in nature, but is very readable nonetheless. I wish I had had a deeper understanding of the history of race relations before starting to read; additional context may have been helpful. This book is interesting and timely, and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a studious deep dive into the history of American Antiracism.

This remarkable primer gives depth and breadth to a simple word with a complex meaning. People who mean well, but don't really know what they mean will find context, grounding, and pointers for future action--and this is a book all about the importance of informed action. People with more robust knowledge will find a succinct overview, and a clear framework for engaging the racist structures of American society.
