How to Fight Racism
Author: Jemar Tisby
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310104785
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Winner of the 2022 ECPA Christian Book Award for Faith & Culture How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. In this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller the Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. The A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: Awareness: educate yourself by studying history, exploring your personal narrative, and grasping what God says about the dignity of the human person. Relationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make reconciliation real and motivate you to act. Commitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution.

The African American Journey to the Power Dome
Author: Bhumika Sharma
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527518361
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
How far has the American Dream been accessible to black characters in African American literature? The answer to this question requires a deep probing of the emotional and ideological patterns delineated in Black American narratives. This book traces the African American journey from the plantation to the power dome through multiple socio-artistic perspectives of Black American authorship. It captures numerous referential inventions ranging from the ‘colored’ to the ‘Black American,’ while throwing light on the transforming status of America’s Native Son, the marked visibility of its Invisible Man, and endless aspirations hovering Just Above My Head. This book highlights how these narratives—despite their authors being fundamentally different in their respective approaches—are connected to each other.
