Review # 2 was written on 2016-08-19 00:00:00 Jewelrit Stewart I loved this book. Bishop gave a really powerful overview of the importance of allyship, what being an ally does and does not mean, how to be an ally, and how to work with allies. I had to read this for my Anti-Racism Social Work class, and I'm really glad I did. "Guilt means taking on all the weight of history as an individual; responsibility means accepting your share of the challenge of changing the situation. Members of oppressor groups spend a great deal of energy in denying responsibility for oppression. What would happen if all that energy would be put to work figuring out how to end it?" "Self-esteem does not have to mean distancing yourself from the oppressor role, it can come instead from taking a proud part in the struggle to end oppression. This involves learning to separate guilt from responsibility. Guilt means taking on all the weight of history as an individual; responsibility means accepting your share of the challenge of changing the situation."
