About this Event
Zoe Swan who will be facilitating the club says
The book club will provide a safe space to explore & share your learning & reflections in relation to anti racism. It’s for anyone that would like to understand inherent racism in society based on white supremacy and to reflect on how white supremacist thoughts and perspectives have influenced our lives.
NB: These sessions are not for training or teaching but an open forum for discussion & self reflection. zoe swan, inst@Zoe.Swan, @itsalawyerslife
Summary from www.thisisbooklove.com about Me and White Supremacy
Me and White Supremacy teaches 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 behaviors, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and over 90,000 people downloaded the Me and White Supremacy Workbook.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.
