An approachable guide to being an informed, compassionate, and socially conscious person today—from discussions of race, gender, and sexual orientation to disability, class, and beyond—from critically-acclaimed historian, educator, and author Blair Imani.
 

 
We live in a time where it has never been more important to be knowledgeable about a host of social issues, and to be confident and appropriate in how to talk about them. What's the best way to ask someone what their pronouns are? How do you talk about racism with someone who doesn't seem to get it? What is intersectionality, and why do you need to understand it? While it can seem intimidating or overwhelming to learn and talk about such issues, it's never been easier thanks to educator and historian Blair Imani, creator of the viral sensation "Smarter in Seconds" series of videos.
 
Accessible to learners of all levels—from those just getting started on the journey to those deeply versed in social justice—Read This to Get Smarter covers a range of topics including race, gender, class, disability, oppression, relationships, family, and beyond. This essential guide is a radical but warm and non-judgmental call-to-arms, structured in such a way that you can read it cover-to-cover or start with any topic you want to learn more about.
 
With Blair Imani as your teacher, you'll "get smarter" in no time, and be equipped to intelligently and empathetically process, discuss, and educate others on the crucial issues we must tackle to achieve a liberated, equitable world.

      Author/narrator Blair Imani brings a personal touch to her primer on cultural awareness when she mentions her conversion to Islam and her bisexuality as she discusses concepts of identity. With amusement and sarcasm, Imani, who is Black, recalls not being recognized as the new hire when she arrived at a law office job; this experience was one of her reasons for her decision to adopt the surname Imani. She covers a wide range of topics, such as race, sex and gender, and socialism, aiming to create a shared understanding. Imani narrates her audiobook with authority as she explains words like "cisgender." She ends each section with discussion questions that ask listeners to reflect.
