Explores the stories we tell ourselves and each other about race and racism in our society and provides strategies for developing a more critical understanding of how racism operates culturally and institutionally in our society. Using the arts in general and storytelling in particular, examines ways to teach and learn about race by creating counter-storytelling communities and offers a practical framework for thinking about and acting on stories about racism and other forms of injustice. New edition includes: social science examples, in addition to the arts, for elucidating the storytelling model; short essays by users that illustrate some of the ways the storytelling model has been used in teaching, training, community building and activism
