Singh's <i>The Racial Healing Handbook</i> is a must-have resource for all educators and mental health workers, and for anyone interested in creating a more racially just world. Singh masterfully weaves together theory, empirical research, and narrative to inform her discussion of the key elements for racial healing for people of color and White individuals. Singh's strength is her ability to translate research into developmentally appropriate, practical activities that will stimulate deep reflection and action. As such, she offers a nice balance of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral exploration. I can't wait to use the handbook and practical exercises in my classes and my work with community members." <br><b>--</b><b>Helen A. Neville, PhD</b>, professor in the department of educational psychology and African American studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; past president of the Society for the Psychological Study of Culture, Ethnicity, and Race; and coeditor of <i>The Myth of Racial Color Blindness </i>and<i> The Cost of Racism for People of Color</i>--Helen A. Neville, PhD<br><br>"In a political era where we are bombarded daily with reports of racism and discrimination, it is easy to feel helpless and withdraw. Anneliese Singh's workbook is a practical guide to actively engaging and participating in social justice on a personal and societal level. Singh draws on best practices, research, and advocacy to create pathways to restore hope in humanity and to create the self-efficacy needed to be a change agent. What a gift!" <br> --<b>Edward Delgado-Romero, PhD</b>, associate dean for faculty and staff services, professor and licensed psychologist, College of Education, University of Georgia--Edward Delgado-Romero, PhD<br><br>"Race and healing?

Whether you're White, a person of color, or multiracial, Singh invites us all--through personal stories, reflection exercises, self-assessments, and an impressive integration of history and the social sciences--to engage in the lifelong practice of racial transformation for ourselves and our communities.

Alvarez, PhD</b>, professor in the department of counseling and dean of the college of health and social sciences at San Francisco State University, and coeditor of <i>The Cost of Racism for People of Color</i>--Alvin N. Alvarez, PhD<br><br>"Racism is America's original sin. It is woven into the fabric of this country, and is an inextricable part of this nation's history. Racism is psychologically and spiritually damaging, yet the sad reality is that in the current political climate racism has been emboldened. Anneliese Singh has given us a desperately needed gift in this racial healing workbook. For those who are social justice activists, or just people who want to understand themselves as racial beings, Singh's workbook is a psychological guide and spiritual salve for facilitating our own racial healing. It is destined to become a classic!" <br> --<b>Kevin Cokley, PhD</b>, Oscar and Annie Mauzy Regents Professor for educational research and development, professor in the department of educational psychology and African and African diaspora studies, and author of the book <i>The Myth of Black Anti-Intellectualism</i>--Kevin Cokley, PhD<br><br>"This is the book you've been waiting for, even if you didn't know you were waiting for it! Anneliese Singh makes a racial healing path accessible, practical, and comprehensive for anyone willing to pursue it. This handbook is personal, straightforward, honest, inviting, and honors the system of racism in all its complexity. It is the rare kind of book I can recommend to my family, my friends, my colleagues, my clients, and to myself. An important contribution to our individual and collective paths toward liberation!" <br> --<b>Jen Willsea, MTS</b>, Atlanta-based social justice and anti-racism facilitator, consultant, and coach--Jen Willsea, MTS<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anneliese A.
