Book description
En este bestseller del New York Times, Ijeoma Oluo nos brinda un análisis contundente e intuitivo del tema de la raza en los Estados Unidos. La amplia cobertura que han tenido los rasgos y facetas de la supremacía blanca --desde la brutalidad policial hasta la encarcelación masiva de afroamericanos-- ha convertido al racismo en el centro de atención de los medios de comunicación. Aun así, sigue siendo un tema difícil de discutir. ¿Cómo le dices a tu compañero de cuarto que sus bromas son racistas? ¿Por qué tu cuñada se ofendió cuando le preguntaste si podías tocarle el pelo, y cómo puedes arreglar esta situación? ¿Cómo les explicas qué es el privilegio blanco a tus privilegiados amigos blancos? En Así que quieres hablar de raza, Ijeoma Oluo guía a los lectores de todas las razas a través de temas que van desde la interseccionalidad y la discriminación positiva hasta las "minorías modelo", en un intento por hacer posible lo aparentemente imposible: tener conversaciones honestas sobre la raza y el racismo, y sobre cómo estos contaminan cada aspecto de la vida americana. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a revelatory examination of race in America Protests against racial injustice and white supremacy have galvanized millions around the world. The stakes for transformative conversations about race could not be higher. Still, the task ahead seems daunting, and it's hard to know where to start. How do you tell your boss her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law hang up on you when you had questions about police reform? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend? In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from police brutality and cultural appropriation to the model minority myth in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race, and about how racism infects every aspect of American life. "Simply put: Ijeoma Oluo is a necessary voice and intellectual for these times, and any time, truth be told." ―Phoebe Robinson, New York Times bestselling author of You Can't Touch My Hair
