A powerful study illuminates our nation's collective civic fault
lines Recent events have turned the spotlight on the issue of race
in modern America, and the current cultural climate calls out for
more research, education, dialogue, and understanding. Race and
Social Change: A Quest, A Study, A Call to Action focuses on a
provocative social science experiment with the potential to address
these needs. Through an analysis grounded in the perspectives of
developmental psychology, adaptive leadership and complex systems
theory, the inquiry at the heart of this book illuminates dynamics
of race and social change in surprising and important ways. Author
Max Klau explains how his own quest for insight into these matters
led to the empirical study at the heart of this book, and he
presents the results of years of research that integrate findings
at the individual, group, and whole system levels of analysis. It's
an effort to explore one of the most controversial and deeply
divisive subject's in American civic life using the tools of social
science and empiricism. Readers will: * Review a long tradition of
classic, provocative social science experiments and learn how the
study presented here extends that tradition into new and unexplored
territory * Engage with findings from years of research that reveal
insights into dynamics of race and social change unfolding
simultaneously at the individual, group, and whole systems levels *
Encounter a call to action with implications for our own personal
journeys and for national policy at this critical moment in
American civic life At a moment when our nation is once again
bitterly divided around matters at the heart of American civic
life, Race and Social Change: A Quest, A Study, A Call to Action
seeks to push our collective journey forward with insights that
promise to promote insight, understanding, and healing.
