Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see
black youth seated together in the cafeteria. Of course, it''s not
just the black kids sitting together-the white, Latino, Asian
Pacific, and, in some regions, American Indian youth are clustered
in their own groups, too. The same phenomenon can be observed in
college dining halls, faculty lounges, and corporate cafeterias.
What is going on here? Is this self-segregation a problem we should
try to fix, or a coping strategy we should support? How can we get
past our reluctance to talk about racial issues to even discuss it?
And what about all the other questions we and our children have
about race? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the
psychology of racism, asserts that we do not know how to talk about
our racial differences: Whites are afraid of using the wrong words
and being perceived as "racist" while parents of color are afraid
of exposing their children to painful racial realities too soon.
Using real-life examples and the latest research, Tatum presents
strong evidence that straight talk about our racial
identities-whatever they may be-is essential if we are serious
about facilitating communication across racial and ethnic divides.
We have waited far too long to begin our conversations about race.
This remarkable book, infused with great wisdom and humanity, has
already helped hundreds of thousands of readers figure out where to
start.
