Kara's Reviews > How to Raise an Antiracist

I have a five-year-old, and I think a lot about how to raise him. What kinds of conversations about race should we be having and at what ages? How do we talk about him being biracial? Should we bring things up proactively or wait until he asks questions? When choosing schools, how much should we weigh student and teacher body diversity compared to academic outcomes?

All of these questions are covered in this book that is part memoir and part compilation of lots of studies and statistics. I love that the last third of the book is notes: Kendi really did his homework to write this book, and sprinkling the book with his own personal vignettes of raising a child (and also from his own childhood) made the book much more readable and engaging.

I’d recommend this to everyone responsible for young kids.
