Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
By Beverly Daniel TatumPublisher Description
The classic, New York Times-bestselling book on the psychology of racism that shows us how to talk about race in America.
Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? How can we get past our reluctance to discuss racial issues?
Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about communicating across racial and ethnic divides and pursuing antiracism. These topics have only become more urgent as the national conversation about race is increasingly acrimonious. This fully revised edition is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand dynamics of race and racial inequality in America.

“This is such an important read for all Americans, regardless of race. Parents, teachers, business owners, and CEO’s will particularly benefit from learning about racial identity development and how to have difficult conversations about race. I found this book really inspiring because of its focus on what individuals can do to push the needle towards equality and healing. I learned so much and there are so many resources in these pages for those looking to take action in the social justice space. I’m giving this 4 stars only because sometimes I felt there were too many statistics that made it difficult to get to the point and see the full picture. I would have better appreciated a summary in the actual text with footnotes of the exact data. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book!”
