Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can, Too by Ijeoma Oluo
From the #1 New York Times –bestselling author of So You Want to Talk About Race and Mediocre, an eye-opening and galvanizing look at the current state of anti-racist activism across America. In the #1 New York Times bestseller So You Want To Talk About Race , Ijeoma Oluo offered a vital guide for how to talk about important issues of race and racism in society. In The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America , she discussed the ways in which white male supremacy has had an impact on our systems, our culture, and our lives throughout American history. But now that we better understand these systems of oppression, the question is What can we do about them? With  Be A How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can, Too , Oluo aims to show how people across America are working to create real positive change in our structures . Looking at many of our most powerful systems—like education, media, labor, health, housing, policing, and more—she highlights what people are doing to create change for intersectional racial equity. She also illustrates various ways in which the reader can find entryways into change in these same areas, or can bring some of this important work being done elsewhere to where they live. This book aims to not only be educational, but to inspire action and change. Oluo wishes to take our conversations on race and racism out of a place of pure pain and trauma, and into a place of loving action.  Be A Revolution is both an urgent chronicle of this important moment in history, as well as an inspiring and restorative call for action.
