Srbija Posted May 26, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2018 Austin Channing Brown, "I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness"ISBN: 1524760854 | 2018 | EPUB | 192 pages | 840 KBFrom a powerful new voice on racial justice, an eye-opening account of growing up Black, Christian, and female in middle-class white America.Austin Channing Brown's first encounter with a racialized America came at age 7, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools, organizations, and churches, Austin writes, "I had to learn what it means to love blackness," a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating America's racial divide as a writer, speaker and expert who helps organizations practice genuine inclusion.In a time when nearly all institutions (schools, churches, universities, businesses) claim to value "diversity" in their mission statements, I'm Still Here is a powerful account of how and why our actions so often fall short of our words. Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice, in stories that bear witness to the complexity of America's social fabric-from Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middle-class suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majority-white organizations.For readers who have engaged with America's legacy on race through the writing of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michael Eric Dyson, I'm Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize God's ongoing work in the world, and discover how blackness-if we let it-can save us all.http://nitroflare.com/view/88E245625472331/1524760854.epub https://rapidgator.net/file/d8d2d2ee32eff692858c2b334d6d9994/1524760854.epub.html Link to comment
