A Powerful Practical Guide to Healing from Racism
There is no denying the fact that our world is steeped in racism. Whether you're a person of color who has experienced the pain of racial slurs or discrimination, or a White person who is coming to terms with and confronting your privilege and the realities of injustice-racism is a profound source of grief, shame, and loss for everyone. This breakthrough guide will help you unlearn the racist messages our society has instilled so deeply and insidiously, and cultivate the skills needed to move beyond our biases and toward collective healing.
The Racial Healing Handbook offers powerful and practical tools to help you explore the history of racism, challenge stereotypes, and manage the stress and remorse that result from living in an unequal world. You'll learn to understand your own racial identity, navigate daily and past experiences of racism, and examine the ways racism affects all aspects of life-from work to family to relationships. Finally, you'll discover how you can fight for racial justice, be an ally, and forge the building blocks needed to create a community of healing.
