I like to think I'm fairly well-read in terms of racial politics, but this was one of those "oh no, it's even worse than you think" kind of books, peppered with nasty surprises that in hindsight are revealed to be the inevitable result of centuries of white supremacy. ISBN10: 1595588345 A unified field theory requires one small thing, a unified field. Dorothy Roberts makes clear, early and often, that race is a biological figment. Here, she invites us to explore: - Ourselves as racial beings, the dynamics of oppression, and our role in racism - The power of paying homage to our most turbulent emotions, and perceiving the wisdom they hold - Key mindfulness tools to understand and engage with racial tension - Identifying our "soft spots" of fear and vulnerability-how we defend them and how to heal them - Embracing discomfort, which is a core competency for transformation - How our thoughts and emotions "rigidify" our sense of self-and how to return to the natural flow of who we are - Body, breath, and relaxation practices to befriend and direct our inner resources - Identifying our most sensitive “activation points” and tending to them with caring awareness - "It's not just your pain"-the generational constellations of racial rage and ignorance and how to work with them - And many other compelling topics Drawing on her expertise as a meditation teacher and diversity consultant, King helps listeners of all backgrounds examine with fresh eyes the complexity of racial identity and the dynamics of oppression.

The most provocative claims in this book involve the genetic basis of human social habits. This groundbreaking book by the acclaimed Dorothy Roberts examines how the myth of biological concept of race—revived by purportedly cutting-edge science, race-specific drugs, genetic testing, and DNA databases—continues to undermine a just society and promote inequality in a supposedly post-racial” era.

Human evolution, the consensus view insists, ended in prehistory.Inconveniently, as Nicholas Wade argues in A Troublesome Inheritance, the consensus view cannot be right.

Fatal Invention Book Description : Explores the ways science, politics, and large corporations affect race in the twenty-first century, discussing the efforts and results of the Human Genome Project, and describing how technology-driven science researchers are developing a genetic definition of race.
