The Other Talk

Reckoning with Our White Privilege

About this book

A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Brendan Kiely starts a conversation with white kids about race in this "well-executed and long overdue" ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review) introduction to white privilege and why allyship is so vital. Talking about racism can be hard, but...Most kids of color grow up doing it. They have "The Talk" with their familiesā€”the honest talk about survival in a racist world.But white kids don't. They're barely spoken to about race at allā€”and that needs to change. Because not talking about racism doesn't make it go away. Not talking about white privilege doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Other Talk begins this much-needed conversation for white kids. In an instantly relatable and deeply honest account of his own life, Brendan Kiely offers young readers a way to understand one's own white privilege and why allyship is so vital, so that we can all start doing our partā€”today.
