Book Description: In this New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a hard-hitting yet friendly review of racing in America

Widely disseminated reports on aspects of white supremacy - from police violence to the mass incarceration of black Americans - have highlighted racism in our society. However, this is a difficult subject to tackle. How do you tell your roommate that his jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take offense when you asked her to touch her hair - and how do you do 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 topics ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make what seems impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.

"Oluo gives us - both whites and people of color - this language to engage in a clear, constructive and trusting dialogue with each other on how to deal with prejudice and racial prejudice."

- National book review

"Generous and empathetic, but usefully blunt ... it's for anyone who wants to be smarter and more empathetic on race issues and engage in more productive anti-racist action."
