3	So You Want to Talk About Race	Ijeoma Oluo	https://www.charisbooksandmore.com/book/9781580058827	Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy - from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans - has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it's a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate his jokes are racist? Why did you sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair, and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend? In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.
4	me and white supremacy Combat Racism,Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor	Layla F. Saad	https://www.meandwhitesupremacybook.com/	Me and White Supremacy: A 28-Day Challenge to Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor leads readers through a journey of understanding their white privilege and participation in white supremacy, so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on black, indigenous and people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.
5	A Good Time For The Truth: Race in Minnesota	Sun Yung Shin	https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781681340029	Essays that challenge, discomfort, disorient, galvanize, and inspire all of us to evolve now, for our shared future.
6	Stamped From the Beginning	Ibram X. Kendi	https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781568585987	Some Americans insist that we're living in a post-racial society. But racist thought is not just alive and well in America -- it is more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues, racist ideas have long and lingering history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. In this deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-Black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. He uses the life stories of five major American intellectuals to drive this history: Puritan minister Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and legendary activist Angela Davis. As Kendi shows, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and the nation's racial inequities. In shedding light on this history, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking. In the process, he gives us reason to hope.
7	Racism without Racists	Eduardo Bonilla-Silva	https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781442276239	Eduardo Bonilla-Silva's acclaimed Racism without Racists documents how, beneath our contemporary conversation about race, there lies a full-blown arsenal of arguments, phrases, and stories that Whites use to account for -- and ultimately justify -- racial inequalities. The fifth edition of the provocative book makes clear that color blind racism is as insidious now as ever. It features new material on our current racial climate, including the Black Lives Matter movement; a significantly revised chapter that examines the Obama presidency, the 2016 election, and Trump's presidency; and a new chapter addressing what readers can do to confront racism -- both personally and on a larger structural level.
8	Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty	Dorothy Roberts	https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780679758693	In 1997, this groundbreaking book made a powerful entrance into the national conversation on race. In a media landscape dominated by racially biased images of welfare queens and crack babies, Killing the Black Body exposed America's systemic abuse of Black women's bodies. From slave masters' economic stake in bonded women's fertility to government programs that coerced thousands of poor Black women into being sterilized as late as the 1970s, these abuses pointed to the degradation of Black motherhood - and the exclusion of Black women's reproductive needs in mainstream feminist and civil rights agendas. Now, some two decades later, Killing the Black Body has not only exerted profound influence, but also remains as crucial as ever - a rallying cry for education, awareness, and action on extending reproductive justice to all women.
9	How to Raise an Antiracist	Dr. Ibram X. Kendi	https://bookshop.org/p/books/how-to-raise-an-antiracist-ibram-x-kendi/17497639?ean=9780593242537&next=t&source=IndieBound&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibramxkendi.com%2F	Kendi turns to parenting and education as forms of resistance to racial injustice. There is a combination of a personal narrative with historical analysis and scientific research. How to Raise an Antiracist shows how racism is learned and how adults can intentionally raise children who reject racist ideas and systems. Kendi gives strategies for beginning these conversations early, honestly, and courageously. This book is deemed a powerful and practical guide for caregivers, educators, and community workers.
10	Parenting for Liberation: A Guide for Raising Black Children	Trina Greene Brown	https://www.feministpress.org/books-n-z/parenting-for-liberation	Inspired by the voices of Black parents who navigate both systemic oppression and radical hope, this book reimagines Black parenting as one of resistance and joy. From interviews, personal reflections, and Black feminist thought, Brown gives lessons rooted in cultural affirmation, safety, healing, and liberation. This is such an important text for those caring for Black children and looking to nurture strength, pride, and critical consciousness in the face of racism.
11	Nice White Ladies: The Truth About White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We Can Help Dismantle It	Jessie Daniels	https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jessie-daniels/nice-white-ladies/9781541675865/?lens=seal-press	With sharp analysis and cultural critique, Daniels interrogates the role of white women in systems of racial dominance, even when well-intentioned. From performative allyship to implicit bias, Nice White Ladies dives into how whiteness, privilege, and gender connect in powerful ways. Daniels uses case studies and historical examples to guide white women through the process of reflection, accountability, and antiracist action.
12	I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown	Austin Channing Brown	https://kaviguptaeditions.com/products/im-still-here-black-dignity-in-a-world-made-for-whiteness-by-austin-channing-brown?srsltid=AfmBOooIrZCrd32YDum4UKdax_qtKkW4iD7ez9txtlItm3tbBN-r3C5m	Brown’s memoir explores her experiences growing up as a Black woman in predominantly white schools, churches, and workplaces. Through storytelling, she unpacks the emotional labor of navigating white spaces and the resilience required to maintain one’s dignity and identity. This is a deeply humanizing and insightful book that bridges personal narrative with broader systems of race and power.
13	Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies	Renee Linklater	https://cup.columbia.edu/book/decolonizing-trauma-work/9781552666586/	Linklater pushes back against the usual Western ways of understanding and treating trauma by centering Indigenous perspectives, healing traditions, and the strength of community. Through the voices and experiences of Indigenous healers and survivors, she shows a powerful approach to trauma that’s deeply rooted in culture, relationships, and restoration. The book also looks at how colonization and racism have shaped not just the trauma itself, but also the ways people have tried to heal from it, and what it could look like to move toward healing that honors Indigenous knowledge and ways of being.
14	Are Racists Crazy? How Prejudice, Racism, and Antisemitism Became Markers of Insanity	Sander L. Gilman, James M. Thomas	https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781479887309	The connection and science behind race, racism, and mental illness. In 2012, an interdisciplinary team of scientists at the University of Oxford reported that - based on their clinical experiment - the beta-blocker drug, Propranolol, could reduce implicit racial bias among its users. Shortly after the experiment, an article in Time Magazine cited the study, posing the question: Is racism becoming a mental illness? In Are Racists Crazy? Sander Gilman and James Thomas trace the idea of race and racism as psychopathological categories., from mid-19th century Europe to contemporary America, up to the aforementioned clinical experiment at the University of Oxford, and ask a slightly different question than that posed by Time: How did racism become a mental illness? Using historical, archival, and content analysis, the authors provide a rich account of how the 19th century 'Science of Man' - including anthropology, medicine, and biology - used race as a means of defining psychopathology and how assertions about race and madness became embedded within disciplines that deal with mental health and illness. An illuminating and riveting history of the discourse on racism, anti semitism, and psychopathology, Are Racist Crazy? connects past and present claims about race and racism, showing the dangerous implications of this specious line of thought for today.
