- Backlash : [electronic resource] : What Happens When We Talk Honestly About Racism in America. by Yancy, George.; Yancy, George.;
- Narrator: George Yancy.When George Yancy penned a New York Times op-ed titled "Dear White America" asking white Americans to confront the ways that they benefit from racism, he knew his article would be controversial. But he was unprepared for the flood of vitriol in response. The resulting blowback played out in the national media, with critics attacking Yancy in every form possible -- including death threats -- and supporters rallying to his side. Despite the rhetoric of a "post-race" America, Yancy quickly discovered that racism is still alive, crude, and vicious in its expression. In Backlash , Yancy expands upon the original article and chronicles the ensuing controversy as he seeks to understand what it was about the op-ed that created so much rage among so many white readers. He challenges white Americans to rise above the vitriol and to develop a new empathy for the African American experience.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 172891 KB).

- Anti-racism 4reals : [electronic resource] : Real talk with real strategies in real time for real change. by Beckford, Sheila M.;
- How do you start today on the road to being anti-racist? As our country faces a long-overdue reckoning with racism and white supremacy, book studies, workshops, and discussions crowd the landscape. But not all activities with the name "anti-racism" are actually anti-racist. In Anti-Racism 4REALS, anti-racism trainers Beckford and Ledder contend much of the current education leaves out action steps for dislodging racism in real time, and even worse, perpetuates racism, causing further harm to Black, Indigenous, Pacific-Islander, Asian, Latino/x (BIPAL) people. Using the concept of "racial positionality" as the entry point for engaging anti-racist work, this groundbreaking book offers concrete tools to confront racism and bring about REAL change in REAL time.Electronic reproduction.

- How does it feel to be a problem? : [electronic resource] : Being young and Arab in America. by Bayoumi, Moustafa.;
- Just over a century ago , W.E.B. Du Bois posed a probing question in his classic The Souls of Black Folk : How does it feel to be a problem? Now, Moustafa Bayoumi asks the same about America's new "problem"-Arab- and Muslim-Americans. Bayoumi takes readers into the lives of seven twenty-somethings living in Brooklyn, home to the largest Arab-American population in the United States. He moves beyond stereotypes and clichés to reveal their often unseen struggles, from being subjected to government surveillance to the indignities of workplace discrimination. Through it all, these young men and women persevere through triumphs and setbacks as they help weave the tapestry of a new society that is, at its heart, purely American.Text Difficulty 6 - Text Difficulty 81010Electronic reproduction.
