But with so many amazing antiracist books out there, and so much devastating news coming at you daily, it can still be hard to figure out what to read next. I hope this quiz will genuinely help you find the right antiracist book for you, whether that’s an introductory text, a deep-dive into history, or an essay collection that will help you confront racist friends and/or family members. We all learn in different ways, so I’ve chosen an array of books that approach antiracism from different angles. You’ll probably notice that some of the biggest antiracist books of the past few years — such as Stamped and How to Be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi and Caste by Isabel Wilkerson — aren’t included in the results. These are great books, and you should read them! But I chose to focus on lesser-known books that approach anti-racism through a variety of lenses, including disability justice, Indigenous history, academia, prison abolition, reproductive justice, and more. No matter what kind of book you end up choosing, the important part is the follow-through: read it, take it to heart, and act on it. Don’t let it collect dust.
