The Antiracist Heart

“This companion workbook is a breakthrough tool that astonishingly provides both clearly articulated cutting-edge insights into the social dynamics and personal impacts of systemic racism/oppression on our psyches and behaviors and also concrete, accessible, doable strategies for personal and interpersonal healing and connection through greater presence, warmth, choice, and intentional, grounded, emotionally intelligent power as the basis for systemic, justice-based healing. Manning and Peyton’s synthesis and application of clinical and action-based research resonates powerfully in bridging the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural/systemic spheres of our human experience and gives us an invaluable guide to working in all three spheres effectively and with integrity. It is quite simply a bad-ass piece of work!”—Edmundo Norte, Dean Emeritus, Intercultural and International Studies, De Anza College, and Senior Fellow, Community Learning Partnership“Manning and Peyton have contributed a practical how-to guide and toolkit for folks across the full spectrum of antiracist dialogues. Nobody is left out. Everyone is seen and has a place. What makes this rare and much-needed book so useful and path-breaking is that it brings together different strands from Nonviolent Conversation, psychology, and authentic dialogues to show us all a courageous path forward for healing, antiracism, and creating Beloved Community.” —Karen DeGannes“The insights and practical strategies shared within these pages have had a profound impact on me both personally and professionally. Within hours of applying the book’s teachings, I felt a sense of relief and renewed energy to take meaningful, guilt-free action toward making our world a more just and caring place for all.”—Jane M Connor, MA, MS, PhD, marriage and family therapist, psychologist, and Associate Professor of Human Development Emerita, Binghamton University“If you’ve ever struggled to make sense of the charged landscape of race, racism, whitesupremacy, and antiracism, read this book. If you longed for more clarity, skill, and confidence to address racism and white supremacy, read this book. If you want more meaningful authentic dialogue, read this book. Integrating their deep insight and compassion, Roxy and Sarah offer us a powerful guide to transformative conversations about race.”—Oren Jay Sofer, author of Say What You Mean and Your Heart Was Made for This
