About this title

Synopsis

This new book by Lee Mun Wah explores the questions people of color and whites are afraid to ask of each other and the answers that we are afraid to hear. Over 150 folks from all over the country participated in ‘breaking the silence’ about what separates and divides us as a nation, in our workplaces, and as friends. The goal of this book is to initiate an environment that will support an open, intimate, and honest dialogue for all of us regarding the issues of racism—what makes it safe or unsafe to share our truths, how denial erodes our willingness to trust, and the myriad of ways that we use to shield ourselves from being hurt or held accountable. Chapters in Section One, for People of Color, Telling the Truth About Racism to Whites, A Question of Safety, Personal Journeys, and Unlearning What It Will Take. Section Two for Whites Telling the Truth, Working with Other Whites, Working with People of Color, Personal Stories, What is Needed to Unlearn Racism, and What It Will Take.
