Overcoming Us Vs. Them

Deep Diversity

A comprehensive and approachable guide to understanding and working toward racial justice, with tools to start making a difference one step at a time. We live in a divided and polarized time. Previously ignored racial and social tensions have erupted in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, Covid-19, and the Trump presidency. How did we get here, and what can we do about it? In Deep Diversity, award-winning educator Shakil Choudhury introduces and explains concepts that are essential to achieving racial justice today. Readers will come away with practical tools and an understanding of: How to recognize when implicit bias, identity, emotions, and power are influencing our actions, and how to act authentically instead How to understand and challenge racism and other forms of systemic oppression when we see it, without shaming ourselves or others How to identify and "own" our own prejudice, and ways to break the "prejudice habits" we have all systematically learned since birth How the rise in authoritarianism, income inequality, and other contemporary phenomena contribute to a rise in discrimination, and what to do about it And so much more Publishing for the first time in the U.S. and the UK, this extensively updated edition of Deep Diversity incorporates scientific studies, interviews with experts, and observations from the author's 25 years of experience working with organizations to achieve racial justice.
