Why read it

• You will be able to explain what structural racism is and why many people refuse to accept it
• You will notice the moment a conversation shuts down in defensiveness and understand what is happening when it does
• You will learn why skipping to a happy ending avoids the real work, and what staying in the hard part asks of you

Who it is for

• A white reader who wants to listen better on race
• A manager facing questions of race and fairness at work
• A person of colour who has felt unheard in these talks
