Beyond Racial Division - A Unifying Alternative to Colorblindness and Antiracism

George A. Yancey

Maison d'édition: IVP

Synopsis

Christianity Today Book Award—Politics and Pubilc Life
Efforts at colorblindness and antiracism have not been very effective in addressing racial tensions in the United States. Colorblindness ignores the realities of race and the history of injustice. On the other hand, antiracism centers racial concerns and in so doing often alienates people who need to be involved in the process. Sociologist George Yancey offers an alternative approach to racial relations where all parties contribute and are mutually accountable to one another for societal well-being. He provides empirical rationale for how collaborative conversations in a mutual accountability model can reduce racial division. History and societal complexity mean that different participants may have different kinds of responsibility, but all are involved in seeking the common good for all to thrive. Avoiding unilateral decisions that close off dialogue, Yancey casts a vision for moving beyond racial alienation toward a lifestyle and movement of collaborative conversation and mutuality.

Empath - Understanding The...

Chloe B Johnson

We are all born with a certain degree of empathy. For some people, this quality is extremely intense and difficult to manage, leading them to be labelled “highly sensitive” or “empaths.” These individuals are often misdiagnosed with conditions such as anxiety or depression because their emotional sensitivities are so pronounced. However, new research is emerging that suggests highly sensitive empaths can actually thrive in life if they learn how to manage their sensitivities properly. 
Highly sensitive people (HSP) are a unique breed. They make up only around 15-20 per cent of the population and are known for their heightened intuition, deep empathizing abilities, and propensity for introspection. This makes them incredibly insightful and caring individuals, but can also lead to a lot of stress and overwhelm.
