This Book Is Anti-Racist is a bold, accessible guide that helps young people understand racism, identity and privilege, then turn that understanding into everyday action. Written by anti-bias educator Tiffany Jewell and illustrated in vivid colour by Aurélia Durand, it blends clear explanations with reflective prompts and hands-on activities. Ideal for teens, classrooms and family bookshelves, this brand-new paperback is a widely recommended starting point for anyone ready to learn, question and act against racial injustice.. About the Book. Structured across 20 carefully sequenced chapters, This Book Is Anti-Racist guides readers from foundational questions - who am I, what is racism, where does it come from - through to practical strategies for disrupting prejudice in daily life. Each chapter builds on the last, moving readers steadily from self-reflection toward confident, informed action, so the material never feels overwhelming. Tiffany Jewell draws on her own experience as a Black biracial writer and anti-racist educator to explain social identity, the history of racial oppression, and the mechanics of privilege and power in plain, honest language. Gender-neutral phrasing throughout ensures every reader feels included and represented. At the end of each lesson sits a genuine activity - journalling prompts, mapping exercises, and reflection questions - so readers actively practise what they've just learned rather than simply absorbing facts. Aurélia Durand's kaleidoscopic illustrations bring warmth and energy to complex, sometimes difficult subject matter, helping the ideas land with clarity for teen and adult readers alike. Recommended by outlets including Oprah's Book Club, The Guardian and TIME, this title has become a touchstone anti-racism resource for schools, book clubs and families navigating these conversations togethe
