OVER 50,000 COPIES SOLD OF EARLIER EDITIONS! POWERFUL STRATEGIES AND
PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR WHITE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO RACIAL JUSTICE
Completely revised and updated, this fourth edition of _ Uprooting
Racism _ offers a framework around neoliberalism and interpersonal,
institutional, and cultural racism, along with stories of resistance
and white solidarity. It provides practical tools and advice on how
white people can work as allies for racial justice, engaging the
reader through questions, exercises, and suggestions for action, and
includes a wealth of information about specific cultural groups such
as Muslims, people with mixed heritage, Native Americans, Jews, recent
immigrants, Asian Americans, and Latino/as.
Inequalities in education, housing, health care, and the job market
continue to prevail, while increased insecurity and fear have led to
an epidemic of scapegoating and harassment of people of color. Yet,
recent polls show that only thirty-one percent of white people in the
United States believe racism is a major societal problem; at the same
time, resistance is strong, as highlighted by indigenous struggles for
land and sovereignty and the Movement for Black Lives.
Previous editions of _ Uprooting Racism _ have sold more than 50,000
copies. This accessible, personal, supportive, and practical guide is
ideal for students, community activists, teachers, youth workers, and
anyone interested in issues of diversity, multiculturalism, and social
justice.
PAUL KIVEL is an award-winning author and an accomplished trainer and
speaker. He has been a social justice activist, a nationally and
internationally recognized anti-racism educator, and an innovative
leader in violence prevention for over forty years.
