Thought-provoking book on racial justice and how we white folks can better engage in the spiritual and activist work needed to address racism. It's a book I will return to on both of those levels.

Interesting that my Beloved Conversations group felt it was too negative/blaming toward white women. Not sure what that says about me -- do I want to wallow in guilt?? I'll reread it at some point and see...

This book needs to be read multiple times. While concepts discussed in it may not be unique to everyone in their anti-racist work, the author’s use of both education and meditation in the book requires regular work. Buy this book. Keep it in your house. Return to it when you need. But make sure that you give space and time to everything that is said cause it is important.
