Reviews" Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria was a landmark publication when it appeared in 1997. Twenty years later this updated edition is as fresh, poignant and timely as ever."-- Earl Lewis, President, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, "An unusually sensitive work about the racial barriers that still divide us in so many areas of life."-- Jonathan Kozol, "We don't talk about race in America, but we must start if we are going to heal this broken country--and Beverly Tatum's book is exactly the conversation opener we should be using."-- Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things, "When I began my own journey of anti-racism, Beverly Daniel Tatum's Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? was the first and most instructive work I discovered. Its anniversary edition-with timely new research, revisited institutional issues, and personal examples so fresh they seem to have come from the headlines-is the book that everyone in America needs to read right now. With clarity and grace, Tatum chronicles how our country has become so racially polarized-how the methods and signifiers may have changed, but the world has not, sustaining inequities for people of color in terms of school segregation, law enforcement, economic obstacles, and voting rights. From the spate of police shootings to the challenge to Affirmative Action, from the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and the parallel swell of hate crimes based on race, this updated version of a classic is the clearest illustration I've found of how fear and anxiety in the declining White population of the US has created a living environment of fear and anxiety for people of color. We don't talk about race in America, but we must start if we are going to heal this broken country-and Tatum's book is exactly the conversation opener we should be using." -Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things
