Handbook for Young Anti-Racists

What is racism? Why are diversity and representation so important? And what can you do if you or someone you know experiences discrimination because of the color of their skin? This powerful handbook gives you answers to all this and much more so that you can learn how to become an active anti-racist!

We hear so many words around race today, such as diversity, structural racism, white privilege and xenophobia? What do all these things mean? And how you can be an anti-racist, especially if you are a elementary or middle school kid who is just starting to understand racism and wants to do something about it?

Told from the point of view of several preteen characters, Handbook for Young Anti-Racists explains to preteens what racism is, why representation and diversity are important and what they can do if they or someone they know is discriminated against because of the color of their skin or where they are from.

This engaging and informative fully illustrated book also includes tasks and conversations about race that young people can bring up at home or with their friends or classmates. An ideal primer for kids who want to learn how to be active anti-racists, the aim of Handbook for Young Anti-Racists is to give the generation that is growing up now the knowledge to change the world for the better.
