<\/a><\/p>\n

In this breakout book, Ijeoma Oluo explores the complex reality of today\u2019s racial landscape\u2013from white privilege and police brutality to systemic discrimination and the Black Lives Matter<\/a> movement\u2013offering straightforward clarity that readers need to contribute to the dismantling of the racial divide<\/em><\/p>\n

In So You Want to Talk About Rac<\/em>e, Editor at Large of The Establishment<\/em> Ijeoma Oluo offers a contemporary, accessible take on the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on such issues as privilege, police brutality, intersectionality<\/a>, micro-aggressions<\/a>, the Black Lives Matter<\/a> movement, and the \u201cN\u201d word<\/a>. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions readers don\u2019t dare ask, and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans.<\/p>\n

Oluo is an exceptional writer with a rare ability to be straightforward, funny, and effective in her coverage of sensitive, hyper-charged issues in America. Her messages are passionate but finely tuned, and crystalize ideas that would otherwise be vague by empowering them with aha-moment clarity. Her writing brings to mind voices like Ta-Nehisi Coates<\/a> and Roxane Gay<\/a>, and Jessica Valenti<\/a> in Full Frontal Feminism<\/em>, and a young Gloria Naylor<\/a>, particularly in Naylor\u2019s seminal essay \u201cThe Meaning of a Word.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
