International Anti-Racism Resources

Learn about racism in various parts of the world, and, more importantly, how to dismantle it.

by Xeno EditorsJune 24, 2020

 

In the June 12, 2020 Xeno newsletter, we shared a list of anti-racism resources for various regions around the world. Because of our commitment to anti-colonial and anti-racism work, we decided to make these permanently available on our website. As we posited when we shared these resources initially, please keep in mind that they are by no means exhaustive, nor do we intend them to be. Think of these as starting points; there is a lot more to learn. If there are any resources that you think are key to understanding racism in your region, please share them with us. Over the next few weeks, we’ll continue to add to this list to create a more comprehensive set of resources for various regions around the world.
