Gr 6 Up—This engaging narrative examines policing, immigration, pop culture, and sports; how these elements are
inextricably linked to the roots of racism; and how racism manifests. The history of resistance to white supremacy is
encapsulated in this propulsive volume that also discusses ways young activists can take action.

This is a very important book for every middle and high school library. Although not an engrossing page-turner, it does have fascinating stories to support the author's 5 steps to create antiracist change. I learned things about P.T. Barnum and Tamir Rice that I did not know before. The examples the author uses often involve Native Americans, Asians and other minorities even though the author is Black. I like the emphasis on supporting intersectional justice--"our antiracist advocacy should be inclusive of many different kinds of communities." ( )

A history and guide for teens on fighting white supremacy and how to work towards anti-racism. The author presents white supremacy as a table supported by four legs: colonization, Indigenous genocide, capitalism, and transatlantic slavery. Fleming goes on to provide historic overviews that illustrate the legs of the table and how each has contributed to the formation of the racist systems we see today and the continued impacts of such. Teens determined to do their part to make the world a better, anti-racist place will go into it well-informed by this book. "White supremacy is the social, political and economic dominance of people socially defined as white." "Racial groups are social, cultural, and political constructions--not biological realities." ( )
