Why? Because it is a rare thing to encounter a white person who has followed the lead of people of color into their own transformation so deeply that I trust the message coming from their white body. Idelette McVicker has done the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a white Afrikaner woman growing up in South Africa during apartheid, Idelette McVicker was steeped in a community and a church that reinforced racism and shielded her from seeing her neighbors' oppression. But a series of circumstances led her to begin questioning everything she thought was true about her identity, her country, and her faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecovering Racists:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecovering Racists shares McVicker's journey over thirty years and across three continents to shatter the lies of white supremacy embedded deep within her soul. She helps us realize that grappling with the legacy of white supremacy and recovering from racism is lifelong work that requires both inner transformation and societal change. It is for those of us who have hit rock bottom in the human story of race, says McVicker. We must acknowledge our internalized racism, repent of our complicity, and learn new ways of being human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInner Transformation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book invites us on the long, slow journey of healing the past, making things right, changing old stories, and becoming human together. As we work for the liberation of everyone, we also find liberation for ourselves. Each chapter ends with discussion questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, Recovering Racists is a powerful and necessary book for anyone who wants to work towards a more just and equitable world. It challenges us to confront our own biases and prejudices and to work towards healing the wounds of the past. By doing so, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive society for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 293g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 140 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781587435430\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idelette McVicker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094023860474,"sku":"9781587435430","price":12.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657282859307_book.jpg?v=1657401529","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/recovering-racists-dismantling-white-supremacy-and-reclaiming-our-humanity-9781587435430","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
