Psychologist Beverly Daniel Tatum tackles this uncomfortable topic head-on, providing tools to address racial identity and facilitate cross-cultural communication. With empathy and research, Tatum guides readers past the fear of saying the wrong thing, illuminating how open dialogue is essential for progress.
