Co-Creating the World We Want
Jen Harvey teaches white people how to practice antiracism and build meaningful multi-racial connections.
Antiracism as Daily Practice: Refuse Shame, Change White Communities, and Help Create a Just World
Antiracism as Daily Practice illustrates the many ways white Americans―those newly waking to the crisis of racism in 2020 and those already aware―can choose behaviors in our everyday lives to grow racial justice. Full of real life stories, this book shows how vital it is for white people to engage in and with our families, through our social networks, in our neighborhoods, and at our jobs to make antiracism a daily living commitment. We have real power in our relationships with other white people―and not enough of us have used it. Dr. Harvey explains why we white people struggle with knowing what to do about racism, and explores how grief, anger, and shame impact our ability to partner in justice with Black communities and other communities of color. Her guidance helps white folks transform their relationship with racism and these emotions, knowing that such transformation is vital not only to the well-being of U.S. democracy but to the freedom and wholeness of all people.
“[Harvey] crafts an emotional and practical framework for white people like herself to take the risks necessary to truly serve communities of color… The author’s vulnerability and passion combine to create a narratorial voice that is nurturing and inspiring.”
