Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“How We Fight White Supremacy is the primer America needs right now! White supremacy is hardly new, but each generation needs to be reminded of the strategies of resistance and resilience that have made African American struggle so powerful and effective.” —Michael Eric Dyson, New York Times bestselling author
“Provide[s] readers with a blueprint for protest…This dynamic collection will inspire, energize, and entertain readers.” —Publishers Weekly
“From the raucous to the religious…Not simply a onetime read…[but] a reference for daily consideration, discussion, inspiration, or instruction.” —Library Journal
“Jeanette Illidge and Vallea Woodbury lead a talented cast…[and] the liveliness of the full-cast recording emphasizes the collective nature of the work. Though the subject matter is serious, the chorus of voices is joyful…[with] the life these talented narrators breathe into the words.” —AudioFile
“A timely and important work to support, educate, nourish, and sustain us all in resisting the lethal effects of white supremacy.” —Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law, Columbia Law School and University of California, Los Angeles
“A brilliant, beautiful, and politically urgent text…This book offers us an impressive range of academic, political, and personal takes on White supremacy. More importantly, the book gives us permission to dream, think, organize, and struggle for a world outside of it.” —Marc Lamont Hill, author of Nobody
