Synopsis
For twenty-five years, Debby Irving sensed inexplicable racial tensions in her personal and professional relationships. As a colleague and neighbor, she worried about offending people she dearly wanted to befriend. As an arts administrator, she didn't understand why her diversity efforts lacked traction. As a teacher, she found her best efforts to reach out to students and families of color left her wondering what she was missing. Then, in 2009, one "aha!" moment launched an adventure of discovery and insight that drastically shifted her worldview and upended her life plan. In Waking Up White, Irving tells her often cringe-worthy story with such openness that readers will turn every page rooting for her-and ultimately for all of us., For twenty-five years, Debby Irving sensed inexplicable racial tensions in her personal and professional relationships.

    Arrived well packaged, very good condition inspite of it being described as “acceptable”. I bought items before from other sellers that were said to be “very good” condition but in reality, it’s worse than “acceptable”. This seller is very honest and trustworthy as far as describing the items. Very satisfied with this purchase.

    Received in great shape. Fast/safe/reasonable ship. Well packaged. Amazing seller, I input my friend address incorrectly and the package came back. Seller was so kind and helped get it to the correct address and didn't have me pay for additional shipping. Excellent communication. My friend's young son already loved the stories. Thank you!

    Don’t read this fast, friends. Take your time and examine your background, motives and preconceptions. We can all benefit from understanding others better and making ourselves vulnerable in conversation.
