Goodreads: So You Want to Talk About Race
"So You Want to Talk About Race" by Ijeoma Oluo
This is the book I needed two years ago. This is the book that family members and friends who say "I'm not a racist, but I don't understand what all the fuss is about" need right now. Most of this was familiar ground for me, but there was plenty of nuance and extrapolation that made it well worth reading. The tone is non-confrontational which (unfortunate that it needs to be this way but) will increase receptivity from the audience who would be best served by reading it.
