Product Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER REESES BOOK CLUB PICK From a leading voice on racial justice, an eye-opening account of growing up Black, Christian, and female that exposes how white Americas love affair with diversity so often falls short of its ideals.

Austin Channing Brown introduces herself as a master memoirist. This book will break open hearts and minds.Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed

Austin Channing Browns first encounter with a racialized America came at age seven, when she discovered her parents named her Austin to deceive future employers into thinking she was a white man. Growing up in majority-white schools and churches, Austin writes, I had to learn what it means to love blackness, a journey that led to a lifetime spent navigating Americas racial divide as a writer, speaker, and expert helping organizations practice genuine inclusion.

In a time when nearly every institution (schools, churches, universities, businesses) claims to value diversity in its mission statement, Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice. Her stories bear witness to the complexity of Americas social fabricfrom Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middle-class suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majority-white organizations.

For readers who have engaged with Americas legacy on race through the writing of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michael Eric Dyson, Im Still Here is an illuminating look at how white, middle-class, Evangelicalism has participated in an era of rising racial hostility, inviting the reader to confront apathy, recognize Gods ongoing work in the world, and discover how blacknessif we let itcan save us all.

From School Library Journal

This incisive memoir takes a penetrating look at race and the Christian faith while providing tools on how to cope with microaggressions and blatant racism. Brown perfectly and succinctly describes the corrosive weight of white supremacy embedded within American institutions, which African Americans and other people of color endure on a daily basis in schools, professional spaces, and places of worship. Brown's experiences and lifelong exploration of racial understanding and reconciliation offer a modern take on the double consciousness first written about by W.E.B. DuBois. From her days in elementary school, often as the only person of color in the room, to speaking on the national stage, Brown's lessons not only give allies the tools to do better but also provide advice for peers and up-and-comings on navigating hostile workplaces, lecture halls, and hearts and minds. This book is laced with gems that make it necessary reading for everyone, regardless of belief or identity. VERDICT Fans of Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me and Reni Eddo-Lodge's Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race will find this candid debut edifying and essential.Christina Vortia, Hype Lit, Land O'Lakes, FL
