WHY ARE ALL THE BLACK KIDS SITTING TOGETHER IN THE CAFETERIA
And Other Conversations About Race, 20th Anniv. Ed.
Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D.Basic Books, 2017
DESCRIPTION
Beverly Daniel Tatum, an authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. This fully revised edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of race in America.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVESThe reader will be able to:
• Define "residential segregation"
• Examine some effects of the anti–affirmative action backlash, such as California's Prop. 209 & Michigan's MCRI, and relate these to racism and segregation
• Explain how the impact of discriminatory policing can exacerbate racial divide in communities
• Review the critical issues in identity development vis–a–vis communities of color and compile resource materials for your clients
• Define the fallacy of the "color–blind Millennial" and the fear of having conversations with someone about bias
• Explain "unconscious bias" and how this can manifest itself in many ways
• Define some psychological impacts of "microaggressions" which communicate negative racial, gender, sexual– orientation, and religious slights and insults to the target person or group
• Examine the "persistent sense of otherness" and its effect on self–esteem, well–being, physical health problems, and shortened life expectancy
• Define "internalized oppression" about one's own group, especially in regards to multiracial family dynamics
• Demonstrate how the shifting paradigm in racial perception can generate anxiety for those who feel the basic assumptions of society changing in ways they can no longer predict
• Develop dialogue strategies to help your client acknowledge and examine their own individual or group's prejudices, stereotypes, omissions and distortions
• Be prepared to help clients focus on their own spheres of influence to be able to work for change and to develop a more inclusive attitude and well–administered diversity environment

EDITORIAL REVIEWS"We don't talk about race in America, but we must start if we are going to heal this broken country–and Beverly Tatum's book is exactly the conversation opener we should be using."
--Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things
"Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria was a landmark publication when it appeared in 1997. Twenty years later this updated edition is as fresh, poignant and timely as ever."
--Earl Lewis, President, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
"An unusually sensitive work about the racial barriers that still divide us in so many areas of life."
--Jonathan Kozol
