Book Reviews of "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?": A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity
Book Review: Empowering all children to break the silence of racism
Summary: 5 Stars
Adults, both White and of color, search for an effective and appropriate approach to discussing racial issues with their children. Often there is a social awkwardness that can result when adults attempt to break the silence because if the "wrong" words are utilized, there is a painful possibility of being perceived as a racist. In addition, some adults are torn between wanting to protect their children from the pain of racial realities and wanting to prepare them effectively to cope with a potentially hostile world. Buttressed by her twenty-years of experience conducting research and teaching a course entitled "The Psychology of Racism" Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D. empowers her readers to break the silence of racism. There is a need to have meaningful, productive dialogue to raise consciousness awareness of racism, within ourselves as well as the environment, to lead to effective action and social change. "In order for there to be meaningful dialogue fear, whether of anger or isolation, must eventually give way to risk and trust" (p. 200). Masterfully interwoven throughout the book are examples of responses and concerns from an array of sources, enriching the quality of the book. Dialogue from research participants, journal entries from previous students, and questions from other adults partaking in her seminars are all utilized to describe the different aspects of racism and identity development. In addition, the author discusses her personal experiences as well as those of her children to elaborate on the situation. This book is not geared towards an academic audience. The author focuses on the many parents, educators, and community leaders that would benefit from her seminars on topics such as "Talking to Children About Race." However, the author cleverly continues to explore theories of identity development while employing a limited amount of psychological terminology.
