This significant work answers all your questions about discussing race by covering: Characteristics of typical, unproductive conversations on race Tacit and explicit social rules related to talking about racial issues Race-specific difficulties and misconceptions regarding race talk Concrete advice for educators and parents on approaching race in a new way "His insistence on the need to press through resistance to have difficult conversations about race is a helpful corrective for a society that prefers to remain silent about these issues." —Christopher Wells, Vice President for Student Life at DePauw University "In a Canadian context, the work of Dr. Derald Wing Sue in Race Talk: and the Conspiracy of Silence is the type of material needed to engage a populace that is often described as 'Too Polite.' The accessible material lets individuals engage in difficult conversations about race and racism in ways that make the uncomfortable topics less threatening, resulting in a true 'dialogue' rather than a debate." —Darrell Bowden, M Ed.

It is a book of empowerment for activists, allies, or advocates who want to be instruments of change and to help move America from silence and inaction to discussion, engagement, and action on issues of difference and diversity. Integrating real life examples of difficult dialogues that incorporate the range of human emotions, Sue provides a masterful illustration of the complexities of dialogues about race in America. More importantly, he provides a toolkit for those who seek to undertake the courageous journey of understanding and facilitating difficult conversations about race." —Menah Pratt-Clarke, JD, PhD, Associate Provost for Diversity, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Download or read book The Silent Boy written by Lois Lowry and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2003-04-28 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Newbery Medal winner, a novel of tragedy and friendship in a turn-of-the-century farm town, “narrated by a perceptive, large–hearted child.”—Kirkus Reviews Katy Thatcher, the bright and curious daughter of the town doctor, was fascinated by her father’s work, and even as a child she knew that she too wanted to be a doctor. She wanted to know about people. Perhaps it was this, her insatiable curiosity, or simply the charm of Jacob’s gentle intimacy with animals large and small, that fueled their friendship. Although Jacob never spoke to her or even looked at her directly, Katy grew to understand him from the moments they spent together quietly singing to the horses. She knew there was meaning in the sounds he made and purpose behind his movements. So when events took an unexpected and tragic turn, it was Katy alone who could unravel the mystery of what had occurred, and why. A two-time recipient of the Newbery Medal, the New York Times-bestselling author of Number the Stars presents a sensitive, moving story of a young girl growing up at the beginning of the twentieth century and the influence of the farm community around her. Through Katy’s eyes, readers can see the human face so often hidden under modern psychological terminology and experience the haunting impact of her friendship with the silent boy. “The author balances humor and generosity with the obstacles and injustice of Katy’s world to depict a complete picture of the turn of the century.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book excerpt: This book addresses a critical public health problem in America - the leading preventable cause of birth defects, neurodevelopmental disorders and intellectual disability: prenatal alcohol exposure. Dr. Rich provides insight into the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorder associated with prenatal alcohol exposure (ND-PAE) among juveniles accused of violent crimes, in neighborhoods where America's "least valued" citizens reside, and even in upper middle class communities. The problem develops as early as the first three weeks of pregnancy, when many women are unaware that they are pregnant. With appropriate diagnosis and treatment, affected individuals can avoid a lifetime of lost potential from substance use disorders, incarceration, unemployment, and homelessness. From her broad psychiatric, forensic, and public health experience, Dr. Rich has crafted a reasoned, passionate argument for communities and professionals to unite in ending an epidemic that currently affects one in twenty American children.

Book excerpt: In a world where the past never truly stays buried, Silent Requiem weaves a gripping tale of crime, redemption, and the haunting echoes of guilt. Roshan and Monica, two seasoned criminals with a shared history of deception and violence, find themselves at a crossroads when their carefully constructed lives begin to unravel. Forced to flee, they assume new identities in a remote village, where they plan to hide from their past and the authorities closing in on them. But the village, with its simple yet profound way of life, begins to work a quiet magic on them. As they become entwined in the community’s struggles—fighting against corrupt forces, advocating for basic necessities, and helping to build a better future—they discover a sense of purpose that had long eluded them. Their criminal skills, once used for personal gain, are now redirected toward protecting the village from a ruthless industrialist bent on exploitation. As they navigate the moral complexities of their new lives, Roshan and Monica are torn between the shadows of their past and the possibility of redemption. Their growing attachment to the village and its people forces them to confront the stark reality of their previous choices. Can they truly change? Or will the silent requiem of their guilt and the lives they’ve taken forever haunt them? Silent Requiem is a powerful narrative that explores the thin line between good and evil, the possibility of transformation, and the unspoken truths that linger in the silence of our lives. It is a story of unexpected hope in the face of overwhelming darkness, where even the most hardened souls can find a path to redemption—if they are willing to face the music of their past.
