The Book on Anti-Racism (Sweet as Sugar)

Understanding racism and actively fighting it starts with knowledge. In this extraordinary book for young people ages 10 and up, author Tiffany Jewell guides her readers through the history of racism—in an accessible, clearly structured way, with many practical exercises. In 20 chapters, she explains how racist structures came to be, which misconceptions persist, and how each person can help build a more just society.

The book illustrates how racism, ethnicity, and social identity are interconnected and makes complex topics accessible. At the same time, it offers hope: inspiring stories of courage, strength, and solidarity show that change is possible and that every action counts.

As a #1 New York Times bestseller, this book offers not only in-depth knowledge but also concrete tools for recognizing, naming, and actively stopping racism. It provides the language, strategies, and courses of action that young people need to stand up against exclusion and hate.

An important, empowering book for everyone who wants to help shape a future without racism.
