[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having read it, I'd describe it as a book that's making an argument about the ways in which power has been racially distributed -- and which also advocates for certain ways to deal with the distribution that it's claiming. [b]If the book is required reading in preparation for a free and open discussion that can include dissent, that's fine. If the idea behind requiring you to read the book is that it presents "the truth," then, yes, that's concerning. [/b] Cue folks jumping on me and calling me uneducated. To them, I say: DiAngelo's work is not broadly respected among serious academics, including many (POC, if it matters) colleagues whose work focuses on the intersection of race and power in the United States. [/quote] I'm pretty sure this is the case. And we are supposed to discuss it together, not just read it ourselves. Which seems as if it could be awkward. [/quote]
