"Dear white women: please do us all a favor and buy this book....Then

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
This is a question that many seemingly well intentioned White people ask
people of color. Yet, it places the responsibility to educate on their
peers, friends, colleagues, and even strangers, rather than themselves.
If you've ever asked or been asked "What can I do to help combat
racism?" then Dear White Women: Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking
About Racism is the answer you're looking for.
From the creators of the award winning podcast Dear White Women, this
book breaks down the psychology and barriers to meaningful race
discussions for White people, contextualizing racism throughout American
history in short, targeted chapters. Sara Blanchard and Misasha
Suzuki Graham bring their insights to the page with:
- Personal narratives
- Historical context
- Practical tips
Dear White Women challenges readers to encounter the hard questions
about race (and racism) in order to push the needle of change in a
positive direction.
