Most people avoid discussion of race-related topics because they provoke strong emotions and feelings of discomfort. Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating Difficult Dialogues on Race shows you how to get beyond those emotional blocks by sharing strategies for smoothing conversations about race in a productive manner.
Through emotional and visceral examples, this book explains why conversations revolving around racial issues are so difficult and provides advice for navigating and leading honest discussions. In Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating Difficult Dialogues on Race, readers will develop a stronger ability to build rapport with people unlike themselves and discover how not talking about race affects society as a whole. Readers will see that discussions about race don’t have to end badly, but can instead foster growth for a greater understanding.
