A New Guide to Racial Literacy and a Book Launch

Download your copy of Key Concepts and Definitions for Building Racial Literacy

Debbie Bargallie and I have produced a guide to racial literacy, ‘Key Concepts and Definitions for Building Racial Literacy.’ This guide contains 28 definitions and 5 longer explainers of key concepts about race, racism, antiracism, colonialism, and anticolonialism.

While the guide was produced with the australian context in mind, it will also be of use to students, activists, teachers and the general public internationally.

We made use of the brilliant illustrations by nicole marie burton for the graphic essay based on Chapter Two of my book Why Race Still Matters for the design, which was created by Svetlana Andrienko.

The guide accompanies the new edited volume co-edited by Debbie Bargallie and Nilmini Fernando, Critical Racial and Decolonial Literacies: Breaking the Silence out now as part of the Decolonization & Social Worlds book series I co-edit with Ali Meghi, Farid Alatas and Jairo Fúnez.

We will be launching the book on Friday 20 September 10-11.30 at the Western Sydney University Parramatta City Campus (opposite Parramatta train station). Please join Debbie Bargallie and Nilmini Fernando in conversation with Gawaian Bodkin-Andrews, Maria Giannacopoulos and Kieron Turner for the launch followed by morning tea. Register here.
