This book was pretty incredible. I've looked through various books on racial reconciliation and this so far has been my favorite. It acts as a guide and has little helpful graphics. I learned through it myself. Especially how to bring two groups together. I had it before the Black Lives Movement in 2020, but that was when I really pulled it out and looked at it and was going to use it in a small group. I wasn't able to do that group then, but I hope in the future to use it for reference and for racial conversations.

I can't recommend this book enough especially with the current climate in the US. I think we could all benefit from reading this, particularly if you find yourself responding emotionally with approached with corrections for how you relate to people of color. So many incredibly important lessons here.

Such an informative read. I was able to walk away with some understanding of how to listen to others and myself.

I received The Racial Healing Handbook by Anneliese A. Singh from NetGalley in exchange for my review. This book is an amazing workbook. There are few books I feel could benefit the world in such an amazing way as Singh does with The Racial Healing Handbook. This work is hard to do, but straight forward, and there is no piece that feels unnecessary. This book is the right length and exercises are reasonable. This puts the reader into the perfect discomfort to learn. I encourage this book for anyone wanting to get to know themselves better or wanting to make the world better.

The author provided great exercises to assist with microaggression and other emotions that people that don't experience racial inequality in their life. The exercises were presented in a way that you couldn't fake them and really made you be honest with yourself about how racial issues fit into your life and in the lives of those you know. I highly recommend this and am going to tell the professor I hate for my Myth of Race Class about it, as I think it would be an excellent resource in her college classes.

** Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review **
Como alguien que ha tenido problemas para aceptar sus orígenes, y que ha visto lo que hace el racismo, me encanto este libro. Recomiendo ademas tenerlo en papel, donde puedan tomar apuntes, etc y tal vez les sea mas practico para realizar las cosas que propone el libro. Ademas, al que ya tiene y al que no, nos permite alcanzar una perspectiva y conciencia correctas sobre el racismo, que es real, y que esta en todas las sociedades, porque en todas las sociedades, y mas en este mundo globalizado, hay personas diferentes al promedio, de otros países y otras razas. Recomiendo su lectura para las personas de todos lados. Aguardo ansiosa que este disponible en español para que se incremente su alcance.

My rating: 5/5

This is meant for white people or people who have little to no understanding of racial issues and racial inequalities. I really enjoyed the fact that the author included a section on microaggressions and examples on them AND WHY THEY ARE BAD. I liked the activities as it makes the person really think about race in regards to themselves and the people they know.

I don’t like having this on ebook though. This is a book you HAVE to buy a paper copy of this book to get the best formatting to take advantage of all the activities.
