Be a revolution : how everyday people are fighting oppression and changing the world--and how you can, too / Ijeoma Oluo. How everyday people are fighting oppression and changing the world--and how you can, too. First edition. New York, NY : HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2024] ©2024. xvii, 395 pages ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (pages 385-395). With Be A Revolution: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World--and How You Can, Too, Oluo aims to show how people across America are working to create real positive change in our structures. Looking at many of our most powerful systems -- like education, media, labor, health, housing, policing, and more -- she highlights what people are doing to create change for intersectional racial equity. She also illustrates various ways in which the reader can find entryways into change in these same areas, or can bring some of this important work being done elsewhere to where they live. This book aims to not only be educational, but to inspire action and change. Oluo wishes to take our conversations on race and racism out of a place of pure pain and trauma, and into a place of loving action. Be A Revolution is both an urgent chronicle of this important moment in history, as well as an inspiring and restorative call for action. 20240517. Anti-racism United States.
