Essential Reading for Inclusive Schools: A Round Up of New Antiracist Books for Educators
The tagline for Our Problem, Our Path (Corwin Press, August 2022) sums up the ultimate aspirations of this important book: “A healthy multiracial society could be ours.”
As authors Ali Michael and Eleonora Bartoli make clear, building a healthy multiracial society is possible. But it can’t be done without millions of white people seeing racism as their problem and choosing to walk an antiracist path. The authors invite white people — especially educators — to join them on an antiracist journey to learn to talk about race with one another in ways that lead to real change. Drawing on decades of personal and professional experiences engaging in antiracism, the authors: emphasize the need for white people to have honest, meaningful relationships not only with People of Color and Native people, but also with other white people, in order to change systems shaped by racism; provide strategies for parents and teachers to support white children to become contributing members of a healthy multiracial society; introduce trauma-informed tools from psychology that enable readers to understand and overcome their own resistance and fear around taking antiracist action; and demonstrate how white people can take antiracist action today, exactly where they are and as they are.
Grounded in an understanding of antiracism as a daily, lifelong practice, Our Problem, Our Path encourages white people to help one another find the trailhead and start moving along the path toward a more just, equitable and loving multiracial society for all.
