Book Review of Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria? And Other Conversations About Race: A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity (Revised Edition)

reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Dr. Tatum reveals the hard, brutal, daunting, but honest reality that many Persons of Color (POC) throughout the United States face when it comes to our dialogue about race relations.
She not only details ways that we can all incorporate anti-racist practices in our daily lives; she also details with empirical experiences of day to day micro-aggression and racist behaviors that she faced and continues to face as a POC in academia and sadly many times we fail to observe our racist/ sexist behaviors until it is addressed by someone else.
This book is a must read for everyone. It isn't a "black book", it a book written by an intelligent, honest, and frustrated psychologist, scholar, and feminist on Racial Identity.
