"What Tim Wise has brilliantly done is to challenge white folks' truth to see that they have a responsibility to do more than sit back and watch, but to recognize their own role in co-creating a fair, inclusive, truly democratic society."-Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow"Tim Wise's new book gives us the tools we need to reach people whose understanding of our country is white instead of right. And without pissing them off!"-James W. Loewen, author, Lies My Teacher Told Me"Tim Wise's latest is more urgent than ever. "-Heather Ann Thompson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy"A white social justice advocate clearly shows how racism is America's core crisis. A trenchant assessment of our nation's ills."-*Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review" Dispatches from the Race War is a bracing call to action in a moment of social unrest."-Publishers Weekly"Dispatches from the Race War exhorts white Americans to join the struggle for a fairer society."-Chapter 16In this collection of essays, renowned social-justice advocate Tim Wise confronts racism in contemporary America. Seen through the lens of major flashpoints during the Obama and Trump years, Dispatches from the Race War faces the consequences of white supremacy in all its forms. This includes a discussion of the bigoted undertones of the Tea Party's backlash, the killing of Trayvon Martin, current day anti-immigrant hysteria, the rise of openly avowed white nationalism, the violent policing of African Americans, and more. Wise devotes a substantial portion of the book to explore the racial ramifications of COVID-19, and the widespread protests which followed the police murder of George Floyd. Concise, accessible chapters, most written in first-person, offer an excellent source for those engaged in the anti-racism struggle. Tim Wise's proactive approach asks white allies to contend with-and take responsibility for-their own role in perpetuating racism against Blacks and people of color. Dispatches from the Race War reminds us that the story of our country is the history of racial conflict, and that our future may depend on how-or if-we can resolve it. "To accept racism is quintessentially American," writes Wise, "to rebel against it is human. Be human."
