Do you want to raise anti-racist children? Do you long to learn but are too scared of saying or doing the wrong thing?
Then Talking to Children about Race is for you.
But before we start talking to our children, we must start chatting honestly with one another.
Broadcaster Loretta Andrews and the educator Ruth Hill had been friends for years before the shocking death of George Floyd made it impossible not to dig deeper into the topic of race and how to explain racism to their children.
Drawing on the very real conversations that ensued, this book invites you into the dialogue to better equip you to bring up anti-racist children.
With warmth and approachability, the authors provide a history of race and explore white privilege, unconscious bias and systematic racism. They offer practical tips, ideas and activities to help you to educate, empower and raise anti-racist children today.
