El racismo es, en su esencia, un sistema poderoso que crea falsas jerarquias de los valores humanos; su logica distorsionada se extiende mas alla de la raza: desde la forma en que consideramos a las personas de diferentes etnias o colores de piel hasta el modo en que tratamos a las personas de diferentes sexos, identidades de genero y tipos de cuerpo. El racismo se entrecruza con asuntos de clase, cultura y geografia e incluso cambia la manera en que nos vemos y nos valoramos. En Como ser antirracista, Kendi lleva a los lectores a traves de un circulo cada vez mas amplio de ideas antirracistas -desde los conceptos mas basicos hasta sus posibilidades visionarias- que ayudaran a identificar claramente todas las formas de racismo, comprender sus peligrosas consecuencias y trabajar para oponerse a ellas tanto en nuestros sistemas sociales como en nuestro interior. El antirracismo es un concepto transformador que reorienta y revitaliza la conversacion sobre el racismo y, mas fundamentalmente, nos senala nuevas formas de pensar sobre nosotros mismos y los que nos rodean.

Kendi teje una combinacion electrizante de etica, historia, derecho y ciencia con su propia historia personal de despertar al antirracismo. Una obra esencial para quien desee ir mas alla de la simple conciencia del racismo y dar un paso mas alla para contribuir a la formacion de una sociedad justa y equitativa.

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.
