Story
In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to "bad people" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

Story
In the year 2018, it seems as if women’s anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before this, women’s anger was not only politically catalytic - but politically problematic. With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel - from suffragettes chaining themselves to the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. She deconstructs society’s (and the media’s) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of resulting repercussions.

Story
In her New York Times best seller White Rage, Carol Anderson laid bare an insidious history of policies that have systematically impeded black progress in America, from 1865 to our combustible present. With One Person, No Vote, she chronicles a related history: the rollbacks to African American participation in the vote since the 2013 Supreme Court decision that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Known as the Shelby ruling, this decision effectively allowed districts with a demonstrated history of racial discrimination to change voting requirements without approval from the Department of Justice.

America Ferrera has always felt wholly American, and yet, her identity is inextricably linked to her parents’ homeland and Honduran culture. Speaking Spanish at home, having Saturday morning salsa-dance parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her American identity. Still, she yearned to see that identity reflected in the larger American narrative. Now, in American Like Me, America invites 31 of her friends, peers, and heroes to share their stories about life between cultures.

So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting. Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that.

Kiese Laymon is a fearless writer. In his essays, personal stories combine with piercing intellect to reflect both on the state of American society and on his experiences with abuse, which conjure conflicted feelings of shame, joy, confusion, and humiliation. Laymon invites us to consider the consequences of growing up in a nation wholly obsessed with progress yet wholly disinterested in the messy work of reckoning with where we’ve been.

Publisher's Summary
"On the Other Side of Freedom reveals the mind and motivations of a young man who has risen to the fore of millennial activism through study, discipline, and conviction. His belief in a world that can be made better, one act at a time, powers his narratives and opens up a view on the costs, consequences, and rewards of leading a movement." (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.)
Named one of the best books of the year by NPR and Esquire
From the internationally recognized civil rights activist/organizer and host of the podcast Pod Save the People, a meditation on resistance, justice, and freedom, and an intimate portrait of a movement from the front lines.
In August of 2014, 29-year-old activist DeRay Mckesson stood with hundreds of others on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, to push a message of justice and accountability. These protests, and others like them in cities across the country, resulted in the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, in his first book, Mckesson lays down the intellectual, pragmatic political framework for a new liberation movement. Continuing a conversation about activism, resistance, and justice that embraces our nation's complex history, he dissects how deliberate oppression persists, how racial injustice strips our lives of promise, and how technology has added a new dimension to mass action and social change. He argues that our best efforts to combat injustice have been stunted by the belief that racism's wounds are history, and suggests that intellectual purity has curtailed optimistic realism. The book offers a new framework and language for understanding the nature of oppression. With it, we can begin charting a course to dismantle the obvious and subtle structures that limit freedom.
Honest, courageous, and imaginative, On the Other Side of Freedom is a work brimming with hope. Drawing from his own experiences as an activist, organizer, educator, and public official, Mckesson exhorts all Americans to work to dismantle the legacy of racism and to imagine the best of what is possible. Honoring the voices of a new generation of activists, On the Other Side of Freedom is a visionary's call to take responsibility for imagining, and then building, the world we want to live in.

Pleasantly Surprised
In the beginning I wasn’t sure exactly what this book was going to cover. I’m fascinated by his background and how he became an activist but it didn’t seem like the first chapter or two really touched on it in detail. Other than getting in the car and driving to Ferguson, there wasn’t much pretext. Then the content starts getting good, REALLY good. He touches on a series of topics....abuse of police power, discord within the activist communities, homosexuality, and privilege. He’s an extremely intelligent man who discusses these topics with the utmost humility, and his passion for helping others is clear. Definitely recommend for those who are interested in learning more about him and BLM. The statistics that he shares alone had my jaw on the floor.

I am convinced times are changing...
DeRay McKesson's voice is unique and his story is compelling. His arguments are clear and ring true to me on so many levels. He (and his vest) are doing the heavy lifting. The group of protestors in this movement are a force to be reckoned with and have forever made an impression on me. I am grateful for people who do more than watch. He is a truly a leader and voice I'll continue to listen for.

Sharp mind and great memoirs
Mckesson offers insight into the thoughts behind many modern protests. Additionally he explains his 'why' and epiphanies he's had along the way.
I heard him in an interview and was impressed by his reasoning and argument skills as well as his humility in not accepting founder-status in Ferguson, but instead rightfully giving credit to the 1000s on the ground.

Sincere, but lacking practical, actionable ideas.
I support DeRay for acting on his convictions as it is clear he is passionate about what he believes. However, there is not much in the way of political or community action steps. Protests are obviously important to him, but for what specific goal. i.e. MLK wanted equality and freedom but led us to fight specifically for equal education, the reversal of Jim Crow, etc. Even if you embrace DeRay's passion, you wont get a clear idea of what to fight for as a follower. "Freedom" while important, is abstract until defined by those seeking it. I still dont know what freedom looks like for DeRay. The single exception is with regards to police violence against blacks. His analysis here is very concrete. Yet, his solutions are still abstract and unclear with no definite policy objectives. I wish I knew what freedom is for him. Is it acceptance? Is it the ability to do something specific? What would need to change to see clear progress? Unfortunately, the book read more like poetic cultural philosophy to me. Perhaps he's added more to his platform since writing this. Finally, there seems to be a "100% for us or against us" thread in his perspective. He doesn't clearly state how people can participate who disagree with parts of his philosophy. It just seems to be more undeveloped passion than I can consider very helpful. A bit critical, but honest. I know he will continue to grow and admire his passion and his bias toward action.

Honest and Moving
DeRay McKesson's book is an amazing dialogue and honest unpacking of the narratives we among the privileged of society have easily dismissed or ignored. I found myself moved and engaged by every single line and note of DeRay's book. The truth in each point is so unapologetically direct that you can often find yourself uncomfortable. I do not think that discomfort is a bad thing, especially in the face of the case presented. It is an enlightening process to sit with that discomfort and force oneself to do more reflection and wake up. I think it makes oneself act, hopefully resulting in the betterment of oneself and others.
None of the truths in the book are new, this a discourse spoken by many. However, the way DeRay roots them in his narrative and his case for hope just makes it sink in a bit more than one might have already absorbed the data. It might be something simple like our shared existence on the orientation spectrum, or perhaps because I am drawn to DeRay's engagement through his podcast, his protest/movement action and communication, and his 'voice' in his book, that I felt like this was an intimate dialogue. I sincerely apologize to DeRay if my embracing of his narrative is presumptuous, derivative, or harmful by assuming more familiarity than I should.
Aside from the trust that I find in this book’s narrative, I strongly suggest EVERYONE to read or listen to it because it is extremely necessary for our movement together and forward. DeRay's way of communicating a point just seems to penetrate whatever barrier we might have over our 'ears'. Do not come to this book with ego. Come to this book willing to engage and have a truth given to you. Come to this book knowing you have the potential to walk away with something powerful, hope. Hope in its active form, requiring engagement not the passive ideal of faith, something that will make you do something to achieve that hope and have your hands in it.
Read this book. Even better, read this book AND listen to this book in audio form. I really really mean it, read this book.

Inspiring us toward reconciliation
DeRay is so brave. From tackling concepts like white privilege and police brutality to breaking down the steps to organize and contribute to change, this book takes us forward on philosophy but also inspires - even demands - drastic change.
DeRay also reveals his own story. Being jailed, sued, maligned not just for what he does, but who he is and how he was born, but yet, overcoming that. Finding his voice in challenging circumstances and helping all of us to find ours too. Thanks, DeRay!
