À propos de cet audio

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a revelatory examination of race in America

A current, constructive, and actionable exploration of today’s racial landscape, offering straightforward clarity that readers 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 readers 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, and Jessica Valenti in Full Frontal Feminism, and a young Gloria Naylor, particularly in Naylor’s seminal essay “The Meaning of a Word.”

Ce que les critiques en disent

"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 informative yet humbling book

This book does a great job of helping inform everyone of the racism that exists and how to deal with, and address racial inequality.

Required listening

“Love” isn’t the only word to describe how I feel about this book, but it’s one word to describe it. “Respect” is another one. “Am grateful for,” works too. So You Want To Talk About Race? is such an important book and genuinely is required reading/listening. Oluo’s writing is intelligent, direct, accessible, warm, and welcoming. She’s done so much for all of humankind in putting these ideas, perspectives, and lessons on paper. Bahni Turpin also does a beautiful job of reading Ijeoma’s words - it felt like a frank, honest conversation with a friend whose life experience has been different than my own. If your goal, like mine, is to do better and do right by your fellow humans, reading/listening to this book is a small but effective step towards that goal. Thank you, Ijeoma. #SoYouWantToTalkAboutRace #Audible1

Engaging and enlightening

This book made me realize how systemic racism is. it also had concrete examples that made the concepts clear. I now have a much better understanding of the issues people of colour face and how I can begin to help address them. The narrator was clear and spoke with emotion.

Educational and entertaining

I learned a lot and I highly recommend.
Told in an entertaining way, it helped give perspective and actual action items that are beneficial in the everyday world.
Everyone should read this...especially if you are white and need help understanding the issues people of colour are facing.

Thought provoking and well arranged.

I hope I've learned enough coming away from this book being part of the solutions, instead of being complacent or worse yet, someone who directly perpetuates the problems. Very well written, tough and concise, not condescending. It was a pleasure hearing from Ijeoma how we can all recognize our own parts in this struggle towards a better society.

Deeply insightful, I could not stop listening

I think we all know innately that something is wrong, but hearing it laid so bare and with such succinct power makes this an incredible listen. I'm so sick of hearing the same dismissals and same bad faith arguments brought up again and again that seeing them laid waste in this book so thoroughly was gratifying. This is a deep dive into an experience that is alien to me and I feel like a better person for having listened

Everyone should read!

Well written, well read! Everyone should read this and use it as a tool for tough conversations about race. No matter how progressive you feel you are, there is always more to learn and ways to actively be better. If you genuinely want to be and do better for others, this is a good place to start.

A must-read for everyone

You don’t need to be an activist to read this book. Maybe you are just an ally. Maybe you’re just a human who cares about all other humans. Whatever your situation, you will find that Ijeoma Oluo has matter-of-factly laid out all of the possible responses and arguments that people give to explain away racism or even just racist words or actions. We live in a racist society, of that there can be no doubt even in 2019. It’s a systemic issue, and this book was super enlightening for me to understand at least a little bit what I could never understand due to the color of my own skin. So if you don’t think we still live in a racist society, I recommend you read or listen to this book from beginning to end and open your mind to see it from another perspective. Everyone will benefit once you do, no matter who you are, because understanding each other in this crazy world is the most important thing of all.
