Me and White Supremacy: How to Recognise Your Privilege, Combat Racism and Change the World
Autor Layla Saad Cuvânt înainte de Robin DiAngeloen Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2022
Observăm în literatura academică și socială actuală o lacună între înțelegerea teoretică a rasismului sistemic și aplicarea practică a deconstrucției privilegiului la nivel individual. Me and White Supremacy completează exact acest spațiu, transformând discursul sociologic într-un proces de introspecție structurat. Notăm că volumul semnat de Layla Saad nu este un simplu manifest, ci o ediție revizuită și extinsă care oferă instrumentele necesare pentru a identifica modurile inconștiente în care prejudecățile afectează interacțiunile sociale.
Comparabil cu White Fragility în rigurozitate, volumul lui Layla Saad este actualizat pentru un context global mai larg, punând un accent mai mare pe responsabilitatea individuală prin exerciții concrete. În timp ce Robin DiAngelo analizează reacțiile defensive, Layla Saad ghidează cititorul prin 28 de zile de examinare personală, adăugând în această ediție noi straturi de context istoric care explică rădăcinile comportamentelor de zi cu zi. Această abordare este o evoluție naturală a muncii sale, precedând Me and White Supremacy (YA Edition), unde autoarea adaptează aceleași concepte complexe pentru un public mai tânăr.
Subliniem tonul direct și asumat al autoarei, care utilizează pregătirea sa juridică pentru a defini cu precizie termeni precum fragilitatea albă, tăcerea sau superioritatea. Ritmul lecturii este dictat de natura sa interactivă; nu este o carte care se parcurge rapid, ci una care solicită timp pentru reflecție și notițe. Prin integrarea unor noi anecdote și resurse, Quercus Books propune un text care servește atât ca material de studiu în învățământul terțiar, cât și ca ghid practic pentru profesioniștii dedicați schimbării sociale.

Descriere
'An indispensable resource for white people who want to challenge white supremacy but don't know where to begin' Robin DiAngelo, author of New York Times bestseller WHITE FRAGILITY'It should be mandatory reading ... Buy the book, do the work and then push more copies into the hands of everyone you know' Emma Gannon'Confrontational and much-needed' Stylist'She is no-joke changing the world and, for what it's worth, the way I live my life.'Anne Hathaway___________Me and White Supremacy shows readers how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of colour, and in turn, help other white people do better, too. When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #MeAndWhiteSupremacy, she never predicted it would spread as widely as it did.
She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviours, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people participated, and over 90,000 people downloaded the book.
The updated and expanded Me and White Supremacy takes the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and further resources. Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that readers are ready to do this work - let's give it to them.
Recenzii
What Layla has created here is essential to anyone committed to doing the right thing regardless of how difficult it may feel. We can not dismantle what we are unwilling to acknowledge. And this book is perfect for anyone who wants to start to build a better society for all.
Layla is an extremely powerful communicator. From the first page, you will be glued to this book. It should be mandatory reading. The message is urgent and the book is actionable and practical. Buy this book for yourself, do the work, and then push more copies it into the hands of everyone you know.
Discovering Layla's work was one of the most important, uncomfortable and pivotal moments in my life. It guided me back to my humanity.
She is no-joke changing the world and, for what it's worth, the way I live my life.
For well-intentioned white people, it is near impossible to know where to begin unlearning our role in upholding white supremacy - because how can you address what you can't even see? White supremacy is the air we've breathed and the milk we've drunk since birth. Enter Layla Saad. Her work is personal, practical, reflective, applicable, difficult, effective, and imperative. For the millions of us begging to know where to begin - where to begin to counteract our ugly history, and where to stand during this historical moment of polarization and hate - Layla answers: Begin with me. Begin with you. Me And White Supremacy is an answer to a question every conscionable person is asking.
America needed this book yesterday. In fact, America has always needed this book. Layla Saad is one of the most important and valuable teachers we have right now on the subject of white supremacy and racial injustice. With keen intelligence and tireless patience, she is working to remove our collective cultural blindspots, and to help - at last - to change minds and transform society. I have the deepest respect for her. Buy this book for yourself, your family, your students. Don't put it off, and don't look away. It's time.
Finally, books are among the most potent agents of change in the world. The work of Layla F Saad and her book Me and White Supremacy helped me learn a lot about the institutional racism of the world we live in, to realise a lot about my own biases and false assumptions, and helped to open my eyes to the extra barriers people of colour face
