"It's easier to build strong children than repair broken men and women. This book provides an incredible opportunity for parents and guardians to start important conversations early on." - Guvna B, rapper, author and broadcaster "Books like this are essential, the more children are comfortable talking about race the less barriers there will be between us.". - Naomi and Natalie from Everydayracism Do you want to raise anti-racist children? Do you long to learn but are too scared of saying or doing the wrong thing? Then Talking to Children about Race is for you. But before we start talking to our children, we must start chatting honestly with one another. Broadcaster Loretta Andrews and the educator Ruth Hill had been friends for years before the shocking death of George Floyd made it impossible not to dig deeper into the topic of race and how to explain racism to their children. Drawing on the very real conversations that ensued, this book invites you into the dialogue to better equip you to bring up anti-racist children. With warmth and approachability, the authors provide a history of race and explore white privilege, unconscious bias and systematic racism. They offer practical tips, ideas and activities to help you to educate, empower and raise anti-racist children today. "Loretta and Ruth have given us a treasure: a non-judgemental, open-hearted manual on ways to tackle the subject of race with our little ones." - Sarah Clarke (Disastersofathirtysomething): "What I love the most is that you are part of change - a lasting change tribe. Ruth and Loretta have not only used their platform but their honest voices in sharing their experiences and research to be the conversation opener for children and families on anti-racism." - Dina Maktabi, Founded of Kensington Mums www.kensingtonmums.co.uk "This is an incredibly helpful and well-written guide that I will go back to time and time again throughout raising my son!" - Emma Borquaye, author and founder of Girl Got Faith "I really wanted to skim through this book, picking out little nuggets of wisdom, but paragraph after paragraph, chapter after chapter, I was engrossed!!" - Nana-Adwoa Mbeutcha, Co-Founder of Black Mums Upfront

Using El lazarillo de ciegos caminantes (the "Guide for Blind Rovers" by Alonso Carrio de Lavandera, the best known work of the era) as a jumping off point for a sprawling discussion of 18th-century Spanish America, Ruth Hill argues for a richer, more nuanced understanding of the relationship between Spain and its western colonies. Armed with primary sources including literature, maps, census data, letters, and diaries, Hill reveals a rich world of intrigue and artifice, where identity is surprisingly fluid and always in question. More importantly, Hill crafts a complex argument for reassessing our understanding of race and class distinctions at the time, with enormous implications for how we view conceptions of race and class today.

The year 1941 was a turning point for the world, but long-time Shanghai resident Ruth Hill Barr had no way of knowing that when she started her five-year diary on January 1st. Before the year was over, the Japanese Army had occupied Shanghai's International Settlement, and she and her family were stranded as enemy aliens, soon to be placed in a Japanese internment camp. This book includes the full text of Ruth's diary along with explanations and memories by her daughter Betty, revealing with fascinating detail the anguish and, incredibly, the continuity of life inside and outside the Shanghai camps during the war.

The Bible is loaded with many blueprints and intricate designs that form very detailed schematics in the universal languages of science and math. It is interesting and somewhat perplexing that many people are not taught to read the Bible from this higher level of understanding. It is the scientific and mathematical language that explains God's universe in a way that is clearly irrefutable proof as to the truth of God's Word. To read the Bible from just strictly a literal point of view is likened to a child that is just learning to read books for the first time, although the child is learning the basics of reading the words they still do not understand the more complex examples of allegory, metaphors and the more complex symbolic undertones within the stories. Reading the Bible from the symbolic level helps us to gain a better understanding of the stories in the Bible, and perhaps the most valuable symbolic way of reading the Bible is to look at everything from a scientific and mathematical perspective. Science and math can not lie and are the most direct proof to show Divine design. This book shows many of the scientific and mathematical blueprints hidden within the Bible. This book is based on years of research and the many discoveries that I made along the way. I reveal the 24 tone Solfeggio scale and how to use these tones to raise the vibratory rate of the Earth.
