Who will pay reparations on my soul? : essays / by McCarthy, Jesse,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A supremely talented young critic's essays on race and culture, from Toni Morrison to trap, herald the arrival of a major new voice in American letters. Ranging from Ta-Nehisi Coates's case for reparations to D'Angelo's simmering blend of R&B and racial justice, Jesse McCarthy's dazzling essays capture debates at the intersection of art, literature, and politics in the twenty-first century with virtuosic intensity. In "Notes on Trap," McCarthy borrows a conceit from Susan Sontag to dissect the significance of trap music in American society, while in "The Master's Tools," Velázquez becomes a lens through which to view Kehinde Wiley's paintings. Essays on John Edgar Wideman, Terrance Hayes, and Claudia Rankine survey the state of black letters. In "The Time of the Assassins," McCarthy, a black American raised in France, writes about returning to Paris after the Bataclan massacre and finding a nation in mourning but dangerously unchanged. Taken together, these essays portray a brilliant critic at work, making sense of our dislocated times while seeking to transform our understanding of race and art, identity and representation"--

Includes bibliographical references (pages 50-52) and index."Racial justice refers to the goal of eliminating hierarchies and inequalities that exist on account of race.

Of course, actual hate groups still exist, and overt racism is unfortunately still a reality.

Emotional justice: a roadmap for racial healing / by Armah, Esther A.;
"Amid a global racial reckoning, this book offers a much-needed language for racial healing and repair, written by an international award-winning journalist, playwright, radio host, and writer. The new world that we are currently navigating post-2020 demands global racial healing. Such work involves tough conversations around race, white supremacy, and anger. Emotional Justice offers a new language for racial healing and social justice. As Esther Armah explains, dismantling the language of whiteness requires different work from different people. The book looks at key terms-Intimate Reckoning, Intimate Revolution, Resistance Negotiation, and Revolutionary Black Grace-that enable people to challenge white supremacy. Intimate Reckoning shows white women how they can examine their role in sustaining white supremacy, while Intimate Revolution teaches Black women to unlearn the language of whiteness that teaches them their sole value is labor. The book includes exchanges with prominent thinkers in this field, including Dr. Robin DiAngelo and Courtney Martin. This book will help readers practice anti-racism and racial repair, do the work of dismantling systemic inequity, and figure out how to coexist across different perspectives"-- Provided by publisher

Many people think that it is counterproductive, distracting, and destructive. It is a negative emotion, many believe, because it can lead so quickly to violence or an overwhelming fury. And coming from people of color, it takes on connotations that are even more sinister, stirring up stereotypes, making white people fear what an angry other might be capable of doing, when angry, and leading them to turn to hatred or violence in turn, to squelch an anger that might upset the racial status quo"--
