Introduction to Race and Racisms

This resource list is designed to explore the meaning, dynamics, history, and evolution of racism in the United States. It provides an introduction to racism to people who are new to antiracist education and who have no prior knowledge, experience, or immersion in race and racisms. It is helpful for people who acknowledge that racism exists but who don’t know much about it otherwise, as well as for those who are skeptical but open about whether modern-day racism is an issue.
