Bodley Head

Bodley Head is a British publishing house that was founded in 1935 by Sir Allen Lane as a line of the publishers The Bodley Head. It became a separate company the following year and revolutionized publishing in the 1930s with its inexpensive paperbacks, sold through Woolworths and other high street stores for sixpence. Their success demonstrated that there was a large audience for serious books, impacting public debate in Britain through their publications on politics, arts, and science.
Since 2013, Bodley Head has been part of Penguin Random House, resulting from the merger of Random House and Penguin Group.

In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X. Kendi, founding director of the Antiracism Research and Policy Center, shows that when it comes to racism, neutrality is not an option: until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem. Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and story-teller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racism whether they realise it or not, and by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism, he shows us how instead to be a force for good. Along the way, Kendi punctures all the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racism – what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.
