Conversations with White People: Dialogues About Race By IC Bailey

Conversations with White People offers a raw, challenging, front-line look at the current state of the racial divide. Pulled from thousands of online and offline conversations, Black People lead the way in these dialogues addressing head-on White People’s views of racism, White supremacy, and White privilege. Covering topics that range from the basics of what racism is to cultural appropriation to racist messages in culture and sport, Conversations with White People makes one thing crystal clear: the race divide is bigger and more complex than many people think. Designed to act as a companion to classics like Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander, and Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism, Conversations with White People offers a ground zero look at the real conversations being had about race. Unvarnished and visceral, Conversations with White People is a revolutionary work that will bring you face to face with your own culturally embedded views on race and challenge you to begin dismantling the systems of oppression in our society.
