The blurbs illuminate the triggers that commonly derail discussion and offer practical steps to cultivate resilience and a willingness to learn. This compact, rigorously argued volume is a valuable primer for individuals, educators, and workplace teams seeking to understand how conversations about race can become constructive, rather than condescending or defensive, and how to foster more inclusive environments.
