The Racial Healing Handbook

Practical Activities to Help You Challenge Privilege, Confront Systemic Racism, and Engage in Collective Healing

By: Anneliese A. Singh PhD LPC, Tim Wise - foreword, Derald Wing Sue PhD - afterword

Narrated by: Machelle Williams

Healing from racism is a journey that often involves reliving trauma and experiencing feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety. This journey can be a bumpy ride, and before we begin healing, we need to gain an understanding of the role history plays in racial/ethnic myths and stereotypes. In so many ways, to heal from racism, you must reeducate yourself and unlearn the processes of racism.

The Racial Healing Handbook offers practical tools to help you navigate daily and past experiences of racism, challenge internalized negative messages and privileges, and handle feelings of stress and shame. You'll also learn to develop a profound racial consciousness and conscientiousness and heal from grief and trauma. Most importantly, you'll discover the building blocks to creating a community of healing in a world still filled with racial microaggressions and discrimination.

This book is not just about ending racial harm - it is about racial liberation. This journey is one that we must take together. It promises the possibility of moving through this pain and grief to experience the hope, resilience, and freedom that helps you not only self-actualize, but also makes the world a better place.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Some great stuff here

The author wants to bridge the gap and be a champion for people of color. Being a white man who listened to this book she did a pretty good job , except in one spot. She called white people “white folks” but everywhere else in the book she refers to people of color. So there are folks and people in this book. If I would tell her to do one thing, it would have been to use the same word for people. Not two different words.

The AntiRacism Manifesto

I loved how detailed and organized this how-to instructional handbook is a powerful and practical tool to help, and teach us how to begin to eradicate racism. Most importantly, it is a teaching framework that can and should be the catalyst for overdue change in the world that Martin Luther King, Jr spoke of on in his “I Have a Dream” speech on how we as African Americans/Black Americans are owed the long overdue “promissory notes” for what are ancestors and everyone of their descendants have yet to collect collectively.

Indoctrination into postmodernism/Marxism

Unfortunately, this book was a required reading for my multicultural class to become a school counselor. While I agree that the systems in our society are not perfect and racism exists in many areas of life, the solutions proposed are more likely to fan the flames of tribalism by separating our society into more and more groups.
