In
this New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a hard-hitting but
user-friendly examination of race in America
Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy - from police brutality to
the mass incarceration of Black Americans - has put a media spotlight on racism
in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell
your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage
when you asked to touch her hair - and how do you make it right? How do you
explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?
In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races
through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to
"model minorities" in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible
possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost
every aspect of American life.
Online discussions will take place via Zoom for five weeks starting on Friday, October 23 from 9-10:30 AM. Participants are asked to obtain a copy of the book and read the first three chapters prior to our first meeting.
