This book is an EXCELLENT resource and Kendi has done a masterful job of relaying so much information in an engaging and accessible way. The remixed YA version (Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You compiled by Jason Reynolds) made it into my hands before the original and gives a great overview of the topics covered. In fact, I think I learned more from this book because I had read the YA version first. However, I think it will still take me another pass or two (at a minimum) before I can truly absorb and learn from the information presented.

In short: the YA version is a great introduction, then read this book 2 or 3 times to learn the most (and take your time with it). If you want to better understand systemic racism the U.S. is based on, definitely pick up this book (although I highly recommend reading both books).
