The Race Conversation

The construct of race is an integral part of Western society’s DNA, and to a large extent, is what makes it tick. If we are to address the social injustice of racism, we need to have the race conversation. Focussing specifically on the non-verbal communication of race, both as a means of social control and as an essential part of navigating oppressive patterns, this guide supports black, white and mixed heritage people to emerge from the tight grip of race discomfort to a traumainformed, neurophysiological approach to dialogue that emphasises resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness and healing.
