September 28Juie! A sumarry of the book by Sarita Srivastava: "You're calling me a racist" . Why have decades of anti-racism workshops and diversity policies failed to challenge racism? Deeply divisive conflicts over racism have been among the strongest challenges facing organizations in North America and Europe over the last three decades, yet progress towards diversity and equality has been slow and uneven. Sarita Srivastava’s forthcoming book, ‘You’re Calling Me a Racist?’, unpacks the emotional and moral preoccupations that lead us to greater conflict, drain our energy and divert our resources.

“You’re calling me a racist?” is the familiar emotional response that derails most attempts at anti-racism. Sometimes it is an angry retort. At other times, it’s a shocked, tearful or shame-faced response. In all cases, whether in a diversity workshop, a political debate, a classroom, or a community dialogue, these kinds of personalized sentiments divert energy from the practical work that needs to be done in moving towards racial justice. Approaches to diversity and equity are too often governed by what Sarita Srivastava calls feel-good racial politics—the desire to both feel good and to be good, rather than to make concrete organizational changes. The recent exponential rise in workshops and books that propose a therapeutic and pedagogical approach means that we are in danger of repeating these same mistakes.		SFRR Day of ActionIf you do not want to present, but you want a topic to be discussed, you can list the topic with no name and the group will talk about it.
