Stand Up and Speak Out about Racism

Stand Up and Speak Out about Racism by Yassmin Abdel-Magied is a 2023 Society & Culture book written by TED speaker Yassmin Abdel-Magied, paired here with the talk they gave.

Using questions canvassed from children around the United Kingdom as her framework, writer, activist, engineer, and broadcaster Yassmin Abdel-Magied provides a clear overview of racism's history, what it looks like today, and how to recognize, resist, and disrupt racist conversations and attitudes that can appear anywhere. This book is a practical guide for taking actionable steps, but it acknowledges that talking about racism invites complex feelings and offers tips and tactics for expressing those emotions safely, stepping back when needed, and prioritizing self-care.
