The classic, bestselling book on the psychology of racism Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. "An unusually sensitive work about the racial barriers that still divide us in so many areas of life." -Jonathan Kozol Similar books: Race Matters by Cornel West Two Nations by Andrew Hacker The Content of Our Character by Shelby Steele Losing the Race by John McWhorter How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X.
