A workbook-style guide to race, identity, and antiracism for young readers — with exercises that actually ask something of the reader, not just passive consumption. Jewell moves from identity and social constructs to history to action. Used widely in schools precisely because it's not preachy; it's practical. A perfect first serious book for the transition from awareness to analysis.
