Book excerpt: Get better about having the hard conversations about racism. In a new season of civil unrest and activism around racism, some white people are still anxious to talk about it. In this updated version of her popular 2018 release, anti-racism teacher Carolyn Helsel offers 30% new content to contextualize the conversation for this new season of the racial justice movement. This new edition includes an updated introduction, fresh stories reflecting current events, new research, and tips for parents and teachers. Anxious to Talk about It helps whites engage their feelings of anxiety, shame, and guilt, and work through them so that they can join conversations with more courage and confidence. Reflection questions close each chapter.
