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

Die Geschichte der USA ist eine Geschichte weisser Männer, die sich über andere hinwegsetzten IBM über Schwarze, Frauen und andere weisse Männer. Von den Cowboys, die sich mit dem Colt in der Hand den Weg in den Westen freischossen, über die Baumwollfarmer, deren Erfolg am Besitz Schwarzer gemessen wurde, bis hin zu den Quarterbacks der NFL und einem Präsidenten, der Frauen zwischen die Beine greift. Eindrucksvoll und anschaulich erzählt Ijeoma Oluo wie das Ideal der weissen Männlichkeit die Gesellschaft bis heute prägt und eine Verständigung so schwierig macht. In White America zeigt die gefeierte Autorin die wahren Konsequenzen der weissen männlichen Vorherrschaft, und entwirft eine neue Identität für weisse Männer, die eine Zukunft ohne Rassismus und Sexismus möglich macht. Eine radikale Neuschreibung der amerikanischen Geschichte und eine Abrechnung mit dem Ideal der weissen Männlichkeit. (Verlagstext)
