論及「Racism (種族主義/種族歧視)」一詞，它牽引出的除了漫長的歷史傷痕與奮鬥歷程，也隨著理論、思維發展的進程，打造出一個巨大的論述框架，協助人們梳理及理解，界定正確與謬誤、正義與歧視、迫害與受害…然而，為何在今日我們發現不同形式的反效果正發生在周遭、又所謂平等的願景依然顯得遙遠？



　　《How to Be an Antiracist如何成為一個反種族歧視者》，書名看來輕巧，但「成為」絕不是幾個步驟就能輕易實現，更貼近於一個恆常追尋的過程。伊布拉．肯迪在書中，結合自己生活經驗的回憶，與生動豐富的歷史、法律政策、道德論辯，每一章節精準地為我們拆解種族主義的一種姿態，引領讀者意識到種族的偏見是如何深至生活、權力、身體、生物學的不同場域，內化在我們的意識深處。



　　即便身為當前權威思想指標與運動倡議者，找尋與建立自身的反種族歧視意識，也同樣是伊布拉．肯迪走過生命裡不同階段、不停反思才取得的覺醒。本書將為已然豐富而綿長的種族議題討論，注入清新的觀點與不同對話的可能性，不僅是針對如何實現種族平等與正義，更關乎我們思考、認識自己以及彼此──在「成為」反種族歧視者的過程裡，一同破除束縛我們的事物，也一同打開想像力，描繪並實踐一個更好的未來的樣貌。（文/博客來編譯）

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the National Book Award-winning author of Stamped from the Beginning comes a ＂groundbreaking＂ (Time) approach to understanding and uprooting racism and inequality in our society--and in ourselves.

＂The most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind.＂--The New York Times (Editors’ Choice)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR--The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Shelf Awareness, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews

Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism--and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas--from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities--that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves.

Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.
