Publisher's summary

Rather than endure the conflict of racial realities, many people choose instead to avoid the topic altogether, or remain silent when it is raised. Race Talk and the Conspiracy of Silence: Understanding and Facilitating Difficult Dialogues on Race puts an end to that dynamic by sharing strategies for smoothing conversations about race in a productive manner.

A guide for facilitating and participating in difficult dialogues about race, author Derald Wing Sue - an internationally recognized expert on multiculturalism, diversity, and microaggressions - explores the characteristics, dynamics, and meaning behind discussions about race as well as the hidden "ground rules" that inhibit honest and productive dialogue.

Through emotional and visceral examples, this book explains why conversations revolving around racial issues are so difficult, and provides guidelines, techniques, and advice for navigating and leading honest and forthright discussions. Listeners will develop a stronger ability to build rapport with people unlike themselves, and discover how not talking about race impacts society as a whole.

Great book with really helpful tools

I think this book can help in engaging with others. The author does a good job using scenarios to explain concepts and he also uses findings from plenty of research around a number of different aspects that affect these conversations. I also like the way the author describes social identity development/consciousness. The phases described in this developmental process offer a really helpful lens to use in ID’ing some of the emotions and behaviors that may be at play with people at different stages of their own racial identity development/consciousness and how they can present in dialogue.
