"Are you calling me a racist?" : why we need to stop talking about race and start making real antiracist change / Sarita Srivastava.

Summary:

"Diversity and anti-racism work is too often reduced to training, therapy, education, and policy, or what the author calls "Feel-Good" approaches that focus on emotions and morality and prevent us from taking collective action for racial justice, decolonization, and equity in our organizations and communities"-- Provided by publisher.
