Guide to Anti-Racist Books and Resources

Guide to Anti-Racist Books and Resources

This guide is an ongoing project to provide the Shippensburg University community and the general public with an extensive guide to suggested books and other resources relating to the many aspects and dimensions of anti-racism work. 

The guide focuses on published books, videos, essays, and tutorial sources, while a complementary guide, the Guide to Source Material for Anti-Racist Activists and Thinkers, includes a wider array of material, including biographical and autobiographical sources, obituaries, writings, archival videos and texts, documentary films, comprehensive archival sites and other websites. 

This is a work-in-progress. We will continue to develop and expand these guides. We hope that you enjoy using them and that they are helpful to all who use them.
