In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to "model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible. Honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life. Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about.
