Description



Book Synopsis



Anti-racist movements have continued to grow worldwide after the death of George Floyd in 2020. Following the BLM protests, many promises were made to deal with the impact of structural discrimination. While this led to more talk than action, there has also been meaningful change, some of which has gone under the radar. The US media focused primarily on the backlash that resulted in book bans and laws against having DEI offices in universities.

In contrast, this book, a follow-up to Terri E. Givens's bestselling book Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides, highlights the promises that were delivered. It focuses on hope and taking action and creating a positive environment including the use of the radical empathy approach to empower ongoing change.



Review Quotes




"As Grace Paley once said, 'the only recognizable feature of hope is action' - and at a time when we need hope more than ever, Terri Givens delivers proof and paths forward for continued action." Sara Blanchard, co-author of Dear White Women and co-host of the podcast What Do You Mean By That?

"A clear and concise resource that guides us to leverage empathy in order to improve our systems, our organizations and ourselves." Suzanne Wertheim, author of The Inclusive Language Field Guide



"The case studies span sectors and range from individual action to organizational policy making. Make the shift from knowing something must be done to being the one doing something." Elisa Camahort Page, Optionality

"At a time when DEI efforts are being demonized and empathy is being weaponized, Reckoning is a passionate rebuttal to the fear-based narratives eroding our shared humanity." Anita Nowak, McGill University



"This is a compelling and nuanced analysis of the post-2020 landscape of anti-racist efforts, cutting through the dominant narratives of backlash to highlight substantive, often overlooked progress. As a scholar and practitioner, Givens brings intellectual rigor and moral clarity to this follow-up to Radical Empathy, grounding her work in actionable frameworks that are both analytically rich and practically applicable. An essential resource for educators, researchers and institutional leaders committed to advancing equity and structural change within academia and beyond." Robin H. Holmes-Sullivan, Lewis & Clark College
