Here is a brief overview of So You Want to Talk About Rac<\/em>e by Ijeoma Oluo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Book Overview: So You Want to Talk About Race<\/em> by Ijeoma Oluo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We need to talk about racism. But, for white people and people of color alike, talking about it can feel like navigating through a minefield. So You Want to Talk About Rac<\/em>e by Ijeoma Oluo is a handbook for anyone who wants to improve how they talk about race, though most of it focuses on awareness-raising among white people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the book is written from the perspective of a black woman, it largely draws on the experiences of African Americans in the United States, though there are occasional references to the experiences of Native and Asian Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So You Want to Talk About Race<\/em> by Ijeoma Oluo has 17 chapters, each addressing one of 17 questions that people commonly ask about conversations on race, for example, \u201cWhat if I talk about race wrong?\u201d, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I touch your hair?\u201d, and \u201cIs police brutality<\/a> really about race?\u201d A condensed summary of So You Want to Talk About Race <\/em>by Ijeoma Oluo is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ijeoma Oluo\u2019s Story<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ijeoma Oluo was born in the United States to a white mother and a Nigerian father<\/strong>. She married early and had two children, completed her college degree as a working single mother, and worked her way up the ladder in the white-dominated Seattle tech industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her 30s, she found her conditioned acceptance of racism dwindling<\/strong>. She stopped bending over backwards to prove that she was professional, hardworking, excessively polite, and definitely not <\/em>an angry black woman. She stopped letting racist jokes slide, she started having difficult conversations<\/a> with her friends, and she converted her food blog into something more personal: a site that offered insights and analysis on race-related topics that were designed to be more useful, analytical, and personal than the superficial \u201chot takes\u201d usually published on these topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she started questioning, resisting, and bringing up racial injustice with those around her, it did not go well. Her white friends (and growing up in Seattle, most of her friends were white) became uncomfortable. She wasn\u2019t \u201cfun\u201d anymore. Despite their willingness to get angry about global warming and political corruption, they didn\u2019t feel the same way about racial injustice. As these former friends fell away from her life, people of color who responded to her online posts replaced them, and she found comfort, community, and strength in this online community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some time writing for online magazines, Ijeoma Oluo decided to write a book, combining and extending her ideas and giving useful, no-nonsense advice<\/strong> on how to talk about race. That book is So You Want to Talk About Race<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Context of the Book\u2019s Publication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Oluo\u2019s decision to speak out added her voice to the emerging voices of many others. Increasing numbers of white Americans, as well as Americans of color, now see racial justice as an urgent issue<\/strong>, and <\/strong>more and more white people are at the table and ready to engage in the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But because issues of race have been papered over for so long\u2014because talking about race has always been something best avoided in polite company\u2014people who want to start talking are finding that they don\u2019t know how to have the conversation<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People of color are nervous about having their experiences minimized or dismissed. They\u2019re wary of knee-jerk defensiveness, and they\u2019re exhausted from dredging up their trauma to explain the same things over and over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White people are afraid of hurting or offending their conversation partner. They\u2019re fearful of being called racist, and they\u2019re unaccustomed to the feelings of discomfort that arise when they confront the ways in which their own privilege comes at the expense of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These conversations are usually upsetting for everyone involved. But remember that the conversations are upsetting because racism <\/em>is upsetting, not because we\u2019re suddenly talking about it<\/strong>. We can\u2019t let our fear win. Having these conversations is the beginning of profound, permanent social change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
