A group of T’ruah chaverim has been reading and discussing Racing To Justice: Transforming our Conceptions of Self and Other to Build an Inclusive Society, by john a. powell (Indiana University Press, 2003). Rabbi Bob Gluck offers this five page digest of the book, with excerpts, as a resource for chaverim looking to learn more about racism.
As summarized by Rabbi Gluck, “John Powell offers a fresh perspective on racism as well as a useful language for speaking with our constituents who may not view themselves as complicit with racism and may react defensively to feel labeled as racist.”
