Editorial Review

Uprooting Racism, Vol. 1
- Book Review, by Paul Kivel

Midwest Book Review
Uprooting Racism talks bout racism without rhetoric or attack. Speaking as a white to fellow whites, Kivel shares stories, suggestions, advice, exercises and approaches for working together to fight racism. He does this while discussing the timely issues of affirmative action, immigration, institutional racism, anti-Semitism, humor, political correctness and the meaning of whiteness. And he covers the different forms of racial injustice faced by Latinos, such as Asian Americans, African Americans, Native-Americans, and Jews. At once gentle and provocative, Uprooting Racism helps readers strategically intervene against racism in workplaces, institutions, public policy debates and everyday personal interactions. Uprooting Racism is a much needed book, helping the reader to understand and heal race relations in this country.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

There's a long tradition of white people opposing racism -- but there are also many excuses given for not getting involved. Uprooting Racism is a supportive how-to book designed to help white people act on the conviction that racism is wrong. Uprooting Racism talks about racism without rhetoric, blame, or guilt. It helps us understand the dynamics of racism in our society, institutions, and daily lives, and it shares stories, suggestions, advice, exercises, and approaches for working together to fight racism. The book features timely discussions of affirmative action, immigration issues, institutional racism, humor, political correctness, and the meaning of whiteness. It includes specific consideration of Latino/a, Asian American, African American, Native American and Jewish issues. This revised and expanded edition also explores how entrenched racism has been revealed in the new economy, voting rights, increased anti-Arab attacks, and health care policy.
