ATR Premium 10 – Paul Kivel – Preview
What do white people stand to gain by fighting racism? How do we demonstrate that gains for women, people of color, and other so-called minorities don’t necessarily come at the expense of white males? What unique perspectives can whites bring to conversations about race? I’ll be speaking to Paul Kivel, author of Uprooting Racism: How White People Can Work for Racial Justice about all of these issues.
