White supremacy is a violent system of oppression that harms Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, and if you are a person who holds white privilege, then you are complicit in upholding that harm, whether you realise it or not. And if you are person who holds white privilege, the question you should be asking isn't whether or not this is true, but rather, what are you going to do about it? 

Between June and July 2018, Layla Saad ran a 28-day Instagram challenge under the hashtag #MeAndWhiteSupremacy, for people with white privilege to unflinchingly examine the ways that they are complicit in upholding the oppressive system of white supremacy. 

The challenge quickly went viral, with thousands of people from all over the world (including USA, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Russia, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Qatar, among others) diving deep for 28 consecutive days to examine and take responsibility for the ways in which they uphold white supremacy. 

The challenge catalysed a worldwide awakening for thousands of white-privileged people to begin to take ownership of their personal antiracism work. 

The updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and and further resources. Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that listeners are ready to do this work - let's give it to them. 

This workbook was born out of that challenge and the results have been life-changing.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved the quantity of information presented in an organized manner, split into 28 chapters/days. It’s a great starting point for those who want to set off on the (neverending) anti-racist journey.

An excellent, up-to-date manual

I started this book thinking, in retrospect sheepishly that I am very educated about this topic as a, what I prefer to describe myself an anti-racist, and I was humbled by this book.
I cannot thank the author or this book enough for teaching me so much and giving me so much food for thought, I'm sure I'll carry this book in my head and the lessons taught for a long, long time, try every day to be a better person and be prepared to learn otherwise.
A must-read for every anti-racist out there or anyone wanting to become an ally.

Saad offers a very considered, constructive guide for white people, for challenging unconscious bias in ourselves. I felt this was a good book that carefully prepares the reader for a rigorous and sober look at her/his behaviour. Explicit racism has declined, but if anyone is struggling with the current and well-proven concept of implicit / unconscious / subtle bias - then this should help them understand it. It has added to my motivation to read more about the black experience and has been a robust reminder of how white-centered much of the western world is.

Great for challenging your own implicit bias
