By beginning a conversation that encourages self-examination and
compassion, Combined Destinies invites readers to look at how white
Americans have been hurt by the very ideology that their ancestors
created. Editors Ann Todd Jealous and Caroline T. Haskell, both
experienced psychotherapists skilled at facilitating dialogue about
racial issues, are cognizant of the challenges that even the
thought of such conversations often presents. Their book is based
on the premise that for positive and lasting change to occur,
hearts as well as minds must be opened. This courageous anthology
posits that unearned privilege has damaged the psyche of white
people as well as their capacity to understand racism. Drawing on
the intimate stories of diverse contributors, Combined Destinies is
organized thematically, with individual chapters focusing on topics
such as guilt, shame, silence, and resistance. The book includes an
extensive reader's guide, posing questions for discussion
pertaining to each chapter and offering readers a chance to explore
their own experiences.
