He looks at how racism impacts every stage and all facets of life, from birth to death, in education, work, and business, friendships and relationships, police and the justice system, and health care. He also looks at the challenges around studying these questions and the ways we can uncover the truth, and then where we go from here: why unconscious bias training can actually make things worse, and what systems and techniques can lead us to a more equitable future.

The conversation : how seeking and speaking the truth about racism can radically transform individuals and organizations : a science-based approach / by Livingston, Robert W.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 269-308) and index."An essential tool for individuals, organizations, and communities of all sizes to jump-start dialogue on racism and bias and to transform well-intentioned statements on diversity into concrete actions-from a leading Harvard social psychologist. How can I become part of the solution? In the wake of the social unrest of 2020 and growing calls for racial justice, many business leaders and ordinary citizens are asking that very question. This book provides a compass for all those seeking to begin the work of anti-racism. In The Conversation, Robert Livingston addresses three simple but profound questions: What is racism? Why should everyone be more concerned about it? What can we do to eradicate it? For some, the existence of systemic racism against Black people is hard to accept because it violates the notion that the world is fair and just. But the rigid racial hierarchy created by slavery did not collapse after it was abolished, nor did it end with the civil rights era. Whether it's the composition of a company's leadership team or the composition of one's neighborhood, these racial divides and disparities continue to show up in every facet of society. For Livingston, the difference between a solvable problem and a solved problem is knowledge, investment, and determination. And the goal of making organizations more diverse, equitable, and inclusive is within our capability. Livingston's lifework is showing people how to turn difficult conversations about race into productive instances of real change. For decades he has translated science into practice for numerous organizations, including Airbnb, Deloitte, Microsoft, Under Armour, L'Oreal, and JPMorgan Chase. In The Conversation, Livingston distills this knowledge and experience into an eye-opening immersion in the science of racism and bias. Drawing on examples from pop culture and his own life experience, Livingston, with clarity and wit, explores the root causes of racism, the factors that explain why some people care about it and others do not, and the most promising paths toward profound and sustainable progress, all while inviting readers to challenge their assumptions. Social change requires social exchange. Founded on principles of psychology, sociology, management, and behavioral economics, The Conversation is a road map for uprooting entrenched biases and sharing candid, fact-based perspectives on race that will lead to increased awareness, empathy, and action"--

Ashes fly back : a novel / by Petersen, Martha Jane.(CARDINAL)619727;
"Hank Lattimer, a young assistant pastor in a vibrant Georgia Presbyterian church, forges an unexpected friendship with Moses Awulu, an African graduate student studying in Atlanta. As the Christmas season approaches, Hank’s church extends a warm invitation to a diverse group of international students but excludes Africans from eating in the church building, which Hank blindly approves. His world is thrown into turmoil as he grapples with the painful realization of his own personal discrimination. Moses severs his ties with Hank and the church and returns to Africa. A year later, Hank is sent as a missionary to Moses’s homeland. Once on African soil, he faces a daunting question: Can he mend the damage he unwittingly helped cause?

Things I have withheld : essays / by Miller, Kei,author.(CARDINAL)341127;
"In this moving, critical, and lyrical collection of essays, by the acclaimed Forward Prize winner, Kei Miller explores the silences in which so many important things are kept. Miller examines the experience of discrimination through this silence and what it means to breach it-to risk words, to risk truth; and through the body and the histories those bodies inherit-the crimes that haunt them, and how the meanings of our bodies can shift as we move through the world, variously assuming privilege or victimhood. Through letters to James Baldwin, encounters with Soca, Carnival, family secrets, love affairs, questions of aesthetics, and more, Miller powerfully and imaginatively recounts everyday acts of racism and prejudice from a black, male, queer perspective. Through a disarmingly personal lens, this collection is an account of his experiences in Jamaica and Britain, working as an artist and intellectual, making friends and lovers, discovering the possibilities of music and dance, of literary criticism, culture, and storytelling. With both the epigrammatic concision and conversational cadence of his poetry and novels, Things I Have Withheld is a great artistic achievement: a work of innovation and beauty which challenges us to interrogate what seems unsayable and why-our actions, defense mechanisms, imaginations, and interactions-and those of the world around us"--

The city of churches : a novel / by Robbins, Kenn.(CARDINAL)757066;
In an unnamed Southern city in the hot summer of 1963, four girls died in a church bombing, a white merchant who impulsively took down the Jim Crow signs in his store was harassed by segregationists, and a black handyman and a white cop were killed when a stick of dynamite inexplicably exploded between them. Thirty years later, the sons of the two murdered men-one now a minister, the other a writer-return to the city of their birth seeking clues to the fathers who were literally blown from their young lives. Their journeys, and that of their fathers before them, are told in chapters that alternate between 1963 and 1993. The novel telling these interwoven stories is a compelling examination of race and human relations, the terrible cost of the sins of the past, and the promise of racial healing.
