Looking for books about antiracism? Here are some to add to your reading list

As protests have taken place across the country following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, there have been calls for systemic change. And many have suggested education and books as a critical first step in expanding the conversation about racism and white privilege in the United States.

In the last couple days, books on these topics have risen to the top of bestselling lists and sold out from major online sellers like Amazon, which has also prompted calls for supporting local and black-owned stores.

Author Ibram X. Kendi's "How To Be An Antiracist" has been atop many of the lists. On his website, Kendi also includes a discussion guide for groups who read the book and want to have a further discussion.

For the New York Times, Kendi suggested some additional books. Here are some of them from the “antiracist reading list”:

By Dorothy E. Roberts

By Khalil Gibran Muhammad

By Zora Neale Hurston

By Jonathan Metzl
