Call for Book Submissions: Let’s Get Real: What People of Color Can’t Say & Whites Won’t Ask

Deadline: July 21, 2009

Lee Mun Wah is seeking contributions to the book entitled “Let’s Get Real: What People of Color Can’t Say and Whites Won’t Ask.” This book intends to stimulate a much needed conversation on race and racism that will lead to a more intimate and honest conversation and relationship among society.  Part One: Getting Real, is about confronting some of the issues that keeps us all from talking to each other about race/racism. Part Two: Creating a Bridge, is about ways to begin that conversation, how to create a bridge to talk about our differences, exploring what opens us up and what closes us down, and finally, 101 ways to become Culturally Competent in our relationships and workplaces.  The author is seeking contributions through answering a series of questions aimed towards People of Color, and towards Whites that will honestly address individual experiences around race, that will lead to a better multicultural communication and awareness.  To participate in this process, please email Lee Mun Wah for the sets of questions and to submit your responses at: [email protected].
