This book argues that this cultivated ignorance compels us to support a status quo that we abhor. We are stuck because we cannot imagine a world beyond racism. We are also stuck because engaging with issues of racism with others usually produces immense acrimony and little result. The author responds directly to this challenge by introducing Brave Community--a research-based and learner-tested method that leverages learning as a vehicle to increase the bravery and empathy that we need to both imagine and pursue a world beyond racism. It is an approach that can be used by educators, administrators, cultural workers, human resources professionals, community leaders, and others. The text includes effective practices embedded in vivid portraits of learning across higher education, K-12, and cultural institutions. Now as ever, we need effective tools for creating a shared understanding of the relationship between racial justice and democracy. Designed to be immediately applicable, \u003cem\u003eBrave Community\u003c\/em\u003e teaches in clear and practical ways how anyone who wants to tackle racism can do so, and help others to do the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA how-to book for confronting racism in real time. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA reliable learning process to achieve an authentic and diverse community.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn approach to teaching about racism that edifies and empowers all learners.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA method that has been tested across diverse settings, from elementary schools to graduate schools, from workshops to museums, and from boardrooms to living rooms. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA simple and adaptive approach that was created to address issues of racism but can be used to address any difficult topic.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJanine de Novais\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer, sociologist, and teacher interested in how human liberation is a cultural project--a matter of (un)learning.
