Occupying Privilege by JLove PDF Summary

Book Description: So, what is white privilege?!?And do I have it? The short answer is if you're white, yeah, you do. The good news is that there's a lot we can do, together, to undo the power dynamics and racism that keep us from embracing freedom for all. Imagine if we could all agree without the feelings of blame, shame, and guilt that racism does exist. Then we could be in the business of changing it. This book will help you get there. A book for the people by the people, told through stories, conversations, letters, poems, and essays, readers will learn about key issues pertaining to racism's continued impact on both people of color and white people. In Occupying Privilege, over 30 thought-leaders, activists, educators, and artists offer unique and fresh perspectives on racism, white privilege, and racial justice. Contributors include: Sonia Sanchez, Talib Kweli, Inga Muscio, Tim Wise, Peggy McIntosh, Dr. Pedro Noguera, April R. Silver, Jeff Chang, Dr. Marcella Runell Hall and more When you Occupy Privilege you'll discover: The difference (and there are many!) between white privilege, white supremacy, racism, discrimination and more--knowledge is power! The stories and struggles of people of all color, their own relation to privilege, and how they are undoing it one poem, flow, rhyme, letter, beat, and day at a time. Here, the personal is political.
