Recommendation

In this instructive manual, Celeste Headlee dives headfirst into fraught territory. Stop avoiding talking about race, she says, and tackle it head-on. Her step-by-step guide walks readers through the process. She suggests entering a conversation with a plan and a goal, being respectful and speaking with empathy, while avoiding a judgmental stance. Headlee is sufficiently nonpartisan that her helpful approach functions across races, creeds and ideologies.

Take-Aways

  • Racial bias is part of the human condition.
  • People give themselves a free pass for their racist feelings – even when they clearly harbor bias.
  • Conversations about race can challenge the status quo without belittling the intended audience.
