microaggressive behavior towards racial minorities. The author, Frederick Joseph, shares his past experiences with certain common behaviors, like rude passing comments and ignorant assumptions. This use of first person narrativization helps non-black readers understand why saying or doing certain things could be offensive. The guide offers a simplified encyclopedia, defining terms used in academic discussion of race-relations. This is to support those new to the anti-racist cause and help them learn how to be better. It also makes those less involved with activism comfortable in pursuing more information because of the accessibility. The book often references different songs and movies that Joseph (and other narrators throughout the guidebook) associated with the childhood experiences he recounts. This is used both as a way to build his narrative in a more distinct/personalized way, as well as introducing influential black cultural media to non-black readers. Joseph highlights modern black voices in his guidebook, as well, including interviews with people like Tarell Alvin McCraney, a black actor and playwright, Jamia Burley, a social activist, and Joel Leon, a rapper and poet, just to name a few. There are many interviews in this book, and Frederick organizes their stories to reflect different perspectives and anecdotes relating to each chapter’s overall moral or topic. This creates a literary mosaic of black ideas about race and culture. Joseph and many of the interviewees use humor as a way to explore their own experiences, making this not just a retelling of black suffering but a way for the contributors to take the narrative in their own hands and tell it in whichever way is most comfortable for them.
