unlike some of Han's other books, Undivided is a less academic and much more narrative-driven work that serves as a much-needed reminder about the importance of grace, personal relationships and perseverance. Han infuses ethnographic and historical details to develop a compelling view of the ways that persistent *and intentional, action-oriented* anti-racism work holds profound impacts for both the individual and their surroundings. She rightfully levies criticism on hollow, often corporate, DEI initiatives and anti-racism grifts that leave no lasting marks while demonstrating how proper engagement about race in America can have positive affects for all people regardless of race.
In addition to insightful micro/macro perspectives, Han also leaves space to examine how internal, individual change can impact your relationship to institutions of power and the tensions that misalignment or downright rejection can create. In doing so, and in writing a well-detailed accounting of interviewees' lives, she provides a vision of a path forward for those interested in doing the work. Work that is persistently and sorely needed. Work that serves as a stark reminder of the importance of relational organizing and personal relationships.
Definitely worth the read~
