"Part history lesson, part intimate narrative, and part practical guide, Do Right by Me is a well-drafted roadmap for raising healthy Black children."--Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist, "Do Right by Me: Learning to Raise Black Children in White Spaces by Valerie I. Harrison and Kathryn Peach D'Angelo offers essential, authentic guidance to non-Black parents and caregivers raising Black children through transracial adoption or in multi-racial homes. Crucially, it emphasizes the importance of promoting a strong, positive identity based on a healthy understanding of African history, culture, art, body image and spirituality. The ethnically diverse authors were friends and colleagues at Temple University long before D'Angelo and her husband, a white couple, adopted Gabriel, a biracial baby. The profound joys of parenthood didn't prevent D'Angelo from grasping a devastating truth: "Our world does not give our son the privilege of acting like us, and moreover, it places on him the burden of managing how others feel about him." Presented as an informative dialogue between friends, Do Right by Me confronts unreformed education, healthcare and judicial systems that prevent Black children from being judged solely on their merits, and offers bold strategies for overcoming the inherent disadvantages these systems perpetuate. In the context of education, "doing right" means that parents and caregivers must actively work to ensure each Black child receives the benefits expected by their white peers, and that schools affirmatively commit to fostering well-being for Black students. As Harrison says, "passive education environments equalize nothing for Black children." While tailored to parents and caregivers, Do Right by Me is an authentic, valuable resource for any reader prepared to serve as a critical ally to Black children and their families."-- Shelf Awareness, "Talking about racism can be tough, but the authors present hard truths with aplomb.... Harrison and D'Angelo write with an urgency and hopefulness that make progress both a mandate and something within reach... [T]hey present statistics and contextual history, which makes for a highly informative and compelling narrative. Essential reading for those who parent or nurture Black children or anyone who wants to better understand race in America ." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "This timely examination of discrimination and privilege is packed with insight and should be a great resource for white parents raising children of color. " -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Synopsis
For decades, Katie D'Angelo and Valerie Harrison engaged in conversations about race and racism. However, when Katie and her husband, who are white, adopted Gabriel, a biracial child, Katie's conversations with Val, who is black, were no longer theoretical and academic. The stakes grew from the two friends trying to understand each other's perspectives to a mother navigating, with input from her friend, how to equip a child with the tools that will best serve him as he grows up in a white family. Through lively and intimate back-and-forth exchanges, the authors share information, research, and resources that orient parents and other community members to the ways race and racism will affect a black child's life--and despite that, how to raise and nurture healthy and happy children. These friendly dialogues about guarding a child's confidence and nurturing positive racial identity form the basis for Do Right by Me. Harrison and D'Angelo share information on transracial adoption, understanding racism, developing a child's positive racial identity, racial disparities in healthcare and education, and the violence of racism. Do Right by Me also is a story about friendship and kindness, and how both can be effective in the fight for a more just and equitable society., For decades, Katie D'Angelo and Valerie Harrison engaged in conversations about race and racism.

- i***l (1341)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasefrom reading his feedback, i see this seller always UNDER-rates the condition of his books. they are usually in BETTER condition than listed. he also ships fast. so one can be confident that the condition of a book from this seller will be AT LEAST as good as described, usually BETTER, and shipped promptly. the book i just received is in EXCELLENT condition, but was only listed as "acceptable". wish all book sellers were as honest as this one. won't hesitate to buy from him again!
- _***a (31)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNo stock photo in the listing, which was ultimately not needed due to the accurate description of being 'still in manufacturer wrapping'. Product was in new condition, being listed by the seller as like-new (perhaps because of a slight dent in the slipcover). Shipped very fast. Very happy with my purchase. Would purchase from seller again.Cinderella [Two-Disc Diamond Edition Blu-ray DVD Combo in DVD Packaging] (#235867784980)
