Ijeoma Oluo
En este bestseller del New York Times, Ijeoma Oluo nos brinda un analisis contundente e intuitivo del tema de la raza en los Estados Unidos.
La amplia cobertura que han tenido los rasgos y facetas de la supremacia blanca -desde la brutalidad policial hasta la encarcelacion masiva de afroamericanos- ha convertido al racismo en el centro de atencion de los medios de comunicacion. Aun asi, sigue siendo un tema dificil de discutir. ?Como le dices a tu companero de cuarto que sus bromas son racistas? ?Por que tu cunada se ofendio cuando le preguntaste si podias tocarle el pelo, y como puedes arreglar esta situacion? ?Como les explicas que es el privilegio blanco a tus privilegiados amigos blancos?
En Asi que quieres hablar de raza, Ijeoma Oluo guia a los lectores de todas las razas a traves de temas que van desde la interseccionalidad y la discriminacion positiva hasta las minorias modelo , en un intento por hacer posible lo aparentemente imposible: tener conversaciones honestas sobre la raza y el racismo, y sobre como 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.
