Así que quieres hablar de raza
Book
Primera edición: febrero de 2022.
Una exploración procesable del panorama racial actual, que ofrece una claridad directa que los lectores de todas las razas deben contribuir al desmantelamiento de la división racial. Juicios por brutalidad policial, mítines de supremacistas blancos, protestas de Black Lives Matter. La raza es la historia detrás de muchos de los temas que aparecen en los titulares todos los días. Pero hablar sobre la raza en sí misma, para examinar la forma en que da forma a nuestra sociedad, visible e invisible, puede resultar aterrador y abrumador, e incluso peligroso. En [este libro], Ijeoma Oluo ofrece una discusión aclaratoria del panorama racial en Estados Unidos, abordando de frente los problemas que nos dividen. Posicionado para cerrar la brecha entre las personas de color y los estadounidenses blancos que luchan con las complejidades raciales, Oluo explica los conceptos que continúan eludiendo a los estadounidenses comunes y responde las preguntas que los lectores no se atreven a hacer, como "¿Qué es la apropiación cultural?" '¿Por qué me siguen diciendo que verifique mi privilegio?' y 'Si no apoyo la acción afirmativa, ¿eso me convierte en racista?' Con un lenguaje audaz, profético, divertido y finamente afinado, Oluo ofrece la esperanza de una mejor manera al mostrar lo que es posible cuando se hacen conexiones a través de la división.
An actionable exploration of today's racial landscape, offering straightforward clarity that readers of all races need to contribute to the dismantling of the racial divide. Police brutality trials, white supremacist rallies, Black Lives Matter protests. Race is the story behind many of the issues that make headlines every day. But to talk about race itself--to examine the way it shapes our society, visibly and invisibly--can feel frightening and overwhelming, and even dangerous. In [this book], Ijeoma Oluo offers a clarifying discussion of the racial landscape in America, addressing head-on the issues that divide us. Positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans, and answers the questions readers don't dare ask, like 'What is cultural appropriation?' 'Why do I keep being told to check my privilege?' and 'If I don't support affirmative action, does that make me racist?' With language that's bold, prescient, funny, and finely tuned, Oluo offers hope for a better way by showing what's possible when connections are made across the divide.
