INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
An urgent primer on race and racism, from the host of the viral hit video series
“Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man”
“You
cannot fix a problem you do not know you have.” So begins Emmanuel Acho
in his essential guide to the truths Americans need to know to address
the systemic racism that has recently electrified protests in all fifty
states. “There is a fix,” Acho says. “But in order to access it, we’re
going to have to have some uncomfortable conversations.”
In Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man,
Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and
taboo, many white Americans are afraid to ask―yet which all Americans
need the answers to, now more than ever. With the same open-hearted
generosity that has made his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains
the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural
appropriation, and “reverse racism.” In his own words, he provides a
space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack
both. He asks only for the reader’s curiosity―but along the way, he will
galvanize all of us to join the antiracist fight.
