Description
Talking about Race: Alleviating the Fear brings together over thirty contributions from teachers and students of different ethnicities and races to share their experiences, ideas, and advice on how to tackle this complex issue. For many White people, discussing race can be a source of anxiety, but it is essential for the well-being of all students that they learn to have constructive conversations about the history of race in America, its impact on different ethnic communities, and how those communities contribute to society. This book provides a platform for students of color to share their daily experiences with discrimination, as well as for White educators to model open and comfortable discussions about race. By exploring these topics, Talking about Race: Alleviating the Fear aims to promote a deeper understanding of our society and its complexities, ultimately helping students to succeed academically and personally.
