Do you really understand what racism is all about?
Are you willing to change your opinions and ideas to help make the world a better place?
The questions surrounding racism and equality has spanned centuries and is likely to be with us for centuries to come. While great leaps forward and improvements have been made, in the way that we approach these issues, there is still a lot of work to be done before we can say that we are the equal society that many dream of.
The good news is that each successive generation become more enlightened. Now, in this book, Conversations About Race, we examine what else can be done to gain a better understanding of the racial divide, with chapters that examine:
What racism is
Ethnocentrism And Cultural Relativism
The difficulty of speaking to white people about racism
Knowledge Is More Important Than Color
The Complexity Of Social Identities
Racism yesterday and today
Racism In The United States
And more...
The issue of racism is complicated and deep rooted. It will take time before we reach a stage where everyone accepts it as wrong but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be having difficult conversations about it now.
We owe it to ourselves to better educated about the problems of racism in society and this book goes a long way to laying the foundations of that.
