Book Description
"There's only 1 RACE--the HUMAN one," says me!--A Children's Book: Ending Racism" allows children, parents, and teachers to demystify the term "race." This book was intentionally done with local student participants-both in front of and behind the camera. Positive images are shown of actual children with differing skin "hues" and "shades," "accents," that are seen and heard everyday in their multicultural schools, neighborhoods, and community-at-large. The readers follow the youth through several different relatable scenarios in their school, where they are confronted with a problem related to having a low self-esteem or a lack of self-confidence permeating from their (and other's) perceived of ethnic, cultural make-up or heritage. These scenarios show the transformation of the young people as active participants-changing their beliefs and ideas in order to make friends. They are shown to actively engage in behaviors that belie the "stereotypes"-the perceived of negative differences as sometimes envisioned through one's "ethnicity" and overall cultural "identity." These terms (highlighted in the text) and others found in the glossary were carefully chosen and defined simply and accurately so the readers may be informed thinkers and begin their path towards not only being aware and knowledgeable of diversity but true non-racists-those who are allied and supportive of others who share the same race (the HUMAN one) as they represent the varied different categories-including "nationality" (another highlighted term). The interactive nature of the book-in which children are able to create their own "best practices" depicted on the back of the book-gives parents & teachers the means of preparing their students for discussions about "racism" & "racists," thereby empowering children to talk about themselves and their experiences and providing for better social-emotional skills that the book demonstrates. As it states in the introductory pages, this picture book is "Teaching children about Race, Ethnicity, and Cultural Identity via scenarios and pictures of today's youth allows us a creative opportunity to root out & TO END a most ignorant & destructive "ISM," RACISM" so that "One day may we all (of every hue, shade, and tone) come to know the beauty of us-the human rainbow!"

Speaking of Race
Author: Celeste Headlee
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063098172
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A Boston Globe Most Anticipated Fall Book In this urgently needed guide, the PBS host, award-winning journalist, and author of We Need to Talk teaches us how to have productive conversations about race, offering insights, advice, and support. A self-described “light-skinned Black Jew,” Celeste Headlee has been forced to speak about race—including having to defend or define her own—since childhood. In her career as a journalist for public media, she’s made it a priority to talk about race proactively. She’s discovered, however, that those exchanges have rarely been productive. While many people say they want to talk about race, the reality is, they want to talk about race with people who agree with them. The subject makes us uncomfortable; it’s often not considered polite or appropriate. To avoid these painful discussions, we stay in our bubbles, reinforcing our own sense of righteousness as well as our division. Yet we gain nothing by not engaging with those we disagree with; empathy does not develop in a vacuum and racism won’t just fade away. If we are to effect meaningful change as a society, Headlee argues, we have to be able to talk about what that change looks like without fear of losing friends and jobs, or being ostracized. In Speaking of Race, Headlee draws from her experiences as a journalist, and the latest research on bias, communication, and neuroscience to provide practical advice and insight for talking about race that will facilitate better conversations that can actually bring us closer together. This is the book for people who have tried to debate and educate and argue and got nowhere; it is the book for those who have stopped talking to a neighbor or dread Thanksgiving dinner. It is an essential and timely book for all of us.

Race After Technology
Author: Ruha Benjamin
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509526439
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
From everyday apps to complex algorithms, Ruha Benjamin cuts through tech-industry hype to understand how emerging technologies can reinforce White supremacy and deepen social inequity. Benjamin argues that automation, far from being a sinister story of racist programmers scheming on the dark web, has the potential to hide, speed up, and deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to the racism of a previous era. Presenting the concept of the “New Jim Code,” she shows how a range of discriminatory designs encode inequity by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies; by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions; or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. Moreover, she makes a compelling case for race itself as a kind of technology, designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice in the architecture of everyday life. This illuminating guide provides conceptual tools for decoding tech promises with sociologically informed skepticism. In doing so, it challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold but also the ones we ourselves manufacture. Visit the book's free Discussion Guide: www.dropbox.com
