The Anti-Racism Kit

Anti-Racism Kit is the essential, comprehensive first guide to dismantling racism, created especially for Australian high school students.

Written by two bright young Australian thinkers, the Anti-Racism Kit is a liberating, eye-opening exploration of anti-racism and racial justice centring on the lives and experiences of young adults. Covering three actionable, tangible areas for change – Self, School and Society – this guide breaks down key steps in learning about and practising anti-racism, including understanding important concepts such as privilege and internalised racism and learning to speak up effectively and safely in challenging situations. Packed with first-person experiences and interviews, the Anti-Racism Kit explores what it means to rise above as a young person of colour in Australia today, and how to be a force for change.
