Can We Talk About Race?
And Other Conversations in the Era of School Resegregation
by Beverly Daniel Tatum
Major reflections on race and schools-by the best-selling author of Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
Psychologist and educator Beverly Daniel Tatum, one of our leading commentators on race in America, provides an accessible and engaging analysis of some of the most resonant issues in American education and race relations, from the increase in school resegregation to the need of African American students to see themselves reflected in school curriculum to the complexities of cross-racial friendships.
"Ten years ago, Tatum's book asked the question, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? Her latest book follows up with a broader question about the nation's readiness to talk honestly about the forces that continue to make race such a thorny issue . . . Probing and ambitious."
Booklist
"A provocative and important book . . . What Tatum seeks to do above all is trigger sometimes challenging discussions about race, and infuse those discussions with a reality-based focus on how race affects us all. Her latest book does that beautifully, asking tough questions, and patiently, inclusively seeking answers."
Chuck Leddy, Boston Globe
"Another thoughtful, personal and provocative book that will encourage discussion about many of the difficult issues still surrounding race in America—in and out of the classroom."
Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund
