Sur la question du racisme, la neutralite n'est pas une option : tant que nous ne nous impliquons pas dans la solution, nous faisons ineluctablement partie du probleme. Conteur hors-pair et enseignant talentueux, Ibram X. Kendi nous aide a admettre que tout un chacun se fait, de temps a autre, complice du racisme - inconsciemment ou non. En racontant son propre voyage du racisme a l'antiracisme, il nous montre comment faire notre part et demolit le mythe de la societe post-raciale, donnant ainsi naissance a une nouvelle et necessaire perception du racisme : qu'est-il ? Ou se cache-t-il ? Comment le reconnaitre ? Qu'en faire ?
