How do you start today on the road to being
anti-racist? As our country faces a long-overdue reckoning
with racism and white supremacy, book studies, workshops,
and discussions crowd the landscape. But not all activities
with the name "anti-racism" are actually anti-racist. In Anti Racism 4REALS, anti-racism trainers Beckford and Ledder
contend much of the current education leaves out action steps
for dislodging racism in real time, and even worse,
perpetuates racism, causing further harm to Black,
Indigenous, Pacific-Islander, Asian, Latino/x (BIPAL) people.
Using the concept of "racial positionality" as the entry point
for engaging anti-racist work, this groundbreaking book
offers concrete tools to confront racism and bring about
REAL change in REAL time. Written by two ordained
women - one Black Latina, one white - this straight-talk,
practical workbook provides 137 strategies to be truly anti racist, including scripts and other practices for interrupting
and dismantling racism. A forthcoming video discussion
guide and Leaders Workbook will help facilitate small group
discussion and ACTION-NOW Learning Engagements
