Overview
La toma de conciencia conduce a la acción y la acción conduce al cambio.
Cuando Layla F. Saad empezó un reto en Instagram llamado #MeAndWhiteSupremacy (#yoylasupremacíablanca), no imaginó el alcance que tendría. A través de un proceso de reflexión minuciosamente guiado, animaba a las personas que ostentan el privilegio blanco a examinar sus creencias y conductas racistas. Miles de personas participaron en el reto y más de noventa mil descargaron el cuaderno de ejercicios que lo acompañaba.
Este libro les enseña a los lectores a comprender su propio privilegio blanco y la forma en que muchas veces inconscientemente— contribuyen a la supremacía blanca. Así pueden dejar de hacerle daño a las personas de color y, a su vez, ayudan a otras personas blancas a comportarse de mejor manera.
En este momento de la historia, como nunca antes, muchos se preguntan qué pueden hacer para cooperar con el fin de la supremacía blanca y por dónde empezar. Layla F. Saad contesta: “Empieza adentro. Empieza contigo y con tu propia supremacía blanca”.
“Compra este libro para ti, para tu familia, para tus estudiantes. No lo pospongas y no desvíes la mirada. Ya es hora”. —Elizabeth Gilbert, autora de Come, reza, ama y otros bestsellers del New York Times
“Yo y la supremacía blanca de Layla F. Saad es una herramienta indispensable para la gente que quiere desafiar a la supremacía blanca y no sabe por dónde empezar”. —Robin DiAngelo, autora de White Fragility, bestseller del New York Times
“Fuera de broma, ella está cambiando el mundo y, lo que es mejor, la forma cómo vivo mi vida”. —Anne Hathaway, actriz
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The New York Times and USA Today bestseller
This eye-opening book challenges you to do the essential work of unpacking your biases, and helps white people take action and dismantle the privilege within themselves so that you can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too
Based on the viral Instagram challenge that captivated participants worldwide, Me and White Supremacy takes readers on a 28-day journey, complete with journal prompts, to do the necessary and vital work that can ultimately lead to improving race relations.
Updated and expanded from the original workbook (downloaded by nearly 100,000 people), this critical text helps you take the work deeper by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and including expanded definitions, examples, and further resources, giving you the language to understand racism, and to dismantle your own biases, whether you are using the book on your own, with a book club, or looking to start family activism in your own home.
This book will walk you step-by-step through the work of examining:
• Examining your own white privilege
• What allyship really means
• Anti-blackness, racial stereotypes, and cultural appropriation
• Changing the way that you view and respond to race
• How to continue the work to create social change
Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. For readers of White Fragility, White Rage, So You Want To Talk About Race, The New Jim Crow, How to Be an Anti-Racist and more who are ready to closely examine their own beliefs and biases and do the work it will take to create social change.
