Raising White Kids is a book for families, churches, educators, and communities who want to equip their children to be active and able participants in a society that is becoming one of the most racially diverse in the world while remaining full of racial tensions. For white people who are committed to equity and justice, living in a nation that remains racially unjust and deeply segregated creates unique conundrums.
These conundrums begin early in life and impact the racial development of white children in powerful ways. What can we do within our homes, communities, and schools? Should we teach our children to be "color-blind"? Or should we teach them to notice race? What roles do we want to equip them to play in addressing racism when they encounter it? What strategies will help our children learn to function well in a diverse nation?
Talking about race means naming the reality of white privilege and hierarchy. How do we talk about race honestly, then, without making our children feel bad about being white? Most importantly, how do we do any of this in age-appropriate ways?
While a great deal of public discussion exists in regard to the impact of race and racism on children of color, meaningful dialogue about and resources for understanding the impact of race on white children are woefully absent. Raising White Kids steps into that void.

The structure and organization of this book is impressive and important. Dr. Harvey seems to fully understand the patterns and predictably in the way our minds consume and digest this information. As I listened, paused, reflected, and digested one part, I found I had arrived at a new question/discomfort/concern and, almost in lockstep, that question/discomfort/ concern would be the very next topic to be addressed.
This book os a valuable guide that I will continually revisit. I suggest purchasing it in print format, as well, so you can highlight the heck out of it.

I'm thankful to have read this book now, and it'll be useful in both parenting during these crucial conversations, my own reflections, and how I engage other community stakeholders.
