The translation into German is quite sloppy (some of the notes were just forgotten and there were lots of editing mistakes) - what I think bugged me most about it is the inconsistent use of N* as a replacement for the N word (significant sections use several variations of the N word). In terms of content, though, it's a great introduction to find an answer to what it means to be an anti racist (which honestly would probably have been a more accurate title). I found the last sections that use cancer analogies a bit off, though I can't put my finger on why specifically. Overall I think it's worth reading, what I enjoyed most was the discussion of what radical change means (as opposed to radical rhetoric) and how radical and anti racist groups should apply self reflection to their anti racism. Another important takeaway from the history sections is that racist policy precedes racist rhetoric (and racism springs from self-interest).
