Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad is lauded for its honest, challenging approach to examining racism and white privilege. Many reviewers commend its structured, workbook-style format, allowing deep self-reflection. However, some find the content repetitive and intense. Overall, it's highly regarded for prompting necessary, uncomfortable conversations about race.
Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad is ideal for readers dedicated to self-reflection and social change, similar to those who appreciated Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility or Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist. It’s perfect for activists, educators, and anyone committed to anti-racism work and understanding systemic privilege.
