How to be an antiracist

How to be an antiracist

"The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it -- and then dismantle it." Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America -- but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. He asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.

I'm still here : Black dignity in a world made for whiteness

I'm still here : Black dignity in a world made for whiteness

Brown, Austin Channing, author
2018

The author's first encounter with a racialized America came at age seven, when her parents told her they named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. She grew up in majority-white schools, organizations, and churches, and has spent her life navigating America's racial divide as a writer, a speaker, and an expert helping organizations practice genuine inclusion. While so many institutions claim to value diversity in their mission statements, many fall short of matching actions to words. Brown highlights how white middle-class evangelicalism has participated in the rise of racial hostility, and encourages the reader to confront apathy and recognize God's ongoing work in the world.

The leader's guide to unconscious bias : how to reframe bias, cultivate connection, and create high-performing teams

The leader's guide to unconscious bias : how to reframe bias, cultivate connection, and create high-performing teams

Fuller, Pamela, 1984- author
2020

"Unconscious bias affects everyone. It can look like the disappointment of an HR professional when a candidate for a new position asks about maternity leave. It can look like preferring the application of an Ivy League graduate over one from a state school. It can look like assuming a man is more entitled to speak in a meeting than his female junior colleague. Meant for every manager who wants to understand and move past their own preconceived ideas, this book explains that bias is the result of mental shortcuts and our likes and dislikes, and is a natural part of the human condition. And what we assume about each other and how we interact with one another has vast effects on our organizational success, especially in the workplace. Teaching you how to overcome unconscious bias, this book provides more than thirty unique tools, such as a prep worksheet and a list of ways to reframe your unconscious thoughts."-- provided by publisher.

Me and white supremacy : combat racism, change the world, and become a good ancestor

Me and white supremacy : combat racism, change the world, and become a good ancestor

Saad, Layla F, author
2021

When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #meandwhitesupremacy, she never predicted it would become a cultural movement. She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviors, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it... Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and over 80,000 people downloaded the supporting work Me and White Supremacy. Me and White Supremacy teaches readers how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.

Minor feelings : an Asian American reckoning

Minor feelings : an Asian American reckoning

Hong, Cathy Park, author
2020

Asian Americans inhabit a purgatorial status: neither white enough nor black enough, unmentioned in most conversations about racial identity. In the popular imagination, Asian Americans are all high-achieving professionals. But in reality, this is the most economically divided group in the country, a tenuous alliance of people with roots from South Asia to East Asia to the Pacific Islands, from tech millionaires to service industry laborers. How do we speak honestly about the Asian American condition--if such a thing exists? Poet and essayist Cathy Park Hong fearlessly and provocatively confronts this thorny subject, blending memoir, cultural criticism, and history to expose the truth of racialized consciousness in America.

My grandmother's hands : racialized trauma and the pathway to mending our hearts and bodies

My grandmother's hands : racialized trauma and the pathway to mending our hearts and bodies

Menakem, Resmaa, author
2017

"The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans -- our police. My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide."--Amazon.com.

Unbias : addressing unconscious bias at work

Unbias : addressing unconscious bias at work

Gordon, Stacey A., author
2021

"Unconscious Bias at Work will help readers to understand diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts and identify them in the workplace to understand where the bias lies within the workplace and provide readers with tools to actively remove barriers. We've defined the concepts; we've talked about what diversity is, what inclusion is, and how the concepts relate to the workplace. We've told everyone why diversity matters, why inclusion matters, and explained with charts, graphs, and statistics about returnon investment and the business case for inclusion. But we are beyond talk and data. It's time for action. We need to provide tools to make these concepts actionable. The number one question Gordon receives from prospective clients is "how"? How do they handle the conversation? How do they authentically discuss race when they've never had to previously? What can they do to be more inclusive? How do they help their employee resource groups (ERGs) without overburdening them with the extra work? Unconscious Bias at Work will answer these questions."-- Provided by publisher.

Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race

Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race

Eddo-Lodge, Reni, author
2017

"In 2014, award-winning journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge wrote about her frustration with the way that discussions of race and racism in Britain were being led by those who weren't affected by it. She posted a piece on her blog, entitled: 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race'. Her words hit a nerve. The post went viral and comments flooded in from others desperate to speak up about their own experiences. Galvanised by this clear hunger for open discussion, she decided to dig into the source of these feelings. The result is a searing, illuminating, absolutely necessary examination of what it is to be a person of colour in Britain today. Exploring issues from eradicated black history to the political purpose of white dominance, whitewashed feminism to the inextricable link between class and race, Reni Eddo-Lodge offers a new framework for how to see, acknowledge and counter racism today. Full of clear, bold and keenly felt arguments, [this book] is a wake-up call to a nation in denial about the structural and institutional racism occurring at its heart. It is a timely, essential book by a vital new voice."--Publisher.
