Turn Uncomfortable Conversations into Meaningful Dialogue If you
believe that talking about race is impolite, or that
"colorblindness" is the preferred approach, you must read this
book. Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence debunks the most
pervasive myths using evidence, easy-to-understand examples, and
practical tools. This significant work answers all your questions
about discussing race by covering: * Characteristics of typical,
unproductive conversations on race * Tacit and explicit social
rules related to talking about racial issues * Race-specific
difficulties and misconceptions regarding race talk * Concrete
advice for educators and parents on approaching race in a new way
"His insistence on the need to press through resistance to have
difficult conversations about race is a helpful corrective for a
society that prefers to remain silent about these issues."
Christopher Wells, Vice President for Student Life at DePauw
University "In a Canadian context, the work of Dr. Derald Wing Sue
in Race Talk: and the Conspiracy of Silence is the type of material
needed to engage a populace that is often described as 'Too
Polite.' The accessible material lets individuals engage in
difficult conversations about race and racism in ways that make the
uncomfortable topics less threatening, resulting in a true
'dialogue' rather than a debate." Darrell Bowden, M Ed. Education
and Awareness Coordinator, Ryerson University "He offers those of
us who work in the Diversity and Inclusion space practical tools
for generating productive dialogues that transcend the limiting
constraints of assumptions about race and identity." Rania Sanford,
Ed.D. Associate Chancellor for Strategic Affairs and Diversity,
Stanford University "Sue's book is a must-read for any parent,
teacher, professor, practioner, trainer, and facilitator who seeks
to learn, understand, and advance difficult dialogues about issues
of race in classrooms, workplaces, and boardrooms. It is a book of
empowerment for activists, allies, or advocates who want to be
instruments of change and to help move America from silence and
inaction to discussion, engagement, and action on issues of
difference and diversity. Integrating real life examples of
difficult dialogues that incorporate the range of human emotions,
Sue provides a masterful illustration of the complexities of
dialogues about race in America. More importantly, he provides a
toolkit for those who seek to undertake the courageous journey of
understanding and facilitating difficult conversations about race."
