The antiracist heart : a self-compassion and activism handbook
(Book - Regular Print)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-236) and index.

"The Antiracist Heart delivers a unique path to antiracist activism and introspection by applying neuroscience exercises, questionnaires, and journaling prompts based on the book How to Have Antiracist Conversations. Implicit biases begin forming before we have language and are deeply rooted in the subconscious. By combining neuroscience, introspection, and self-compassion, one can disrupt unconscious patterns. Each chapter of The Antiracist Heart introduces the reader to a concept connected with antiracism such as: Privilege and White Fragility; Disgust and Coded Language; Microaggressions. Manning, a clinical psychologist and antiracist activist and Peyton, a neuroscience expert and educator, explain the neuroscience behind each concept and provide specific exercises and skill sets designed to rewire the brain, in order to unravel implicit bias. Building on the work of How to Have Antiracist Conversations, this workbook provides a road map to guide readers on their journey toward neutralizing subconscious bias, fighting racism from within, and becoming a changemaker in the world"--,Provided by publisher.
