"Anneliese A. Singh's The Racial Healing Handbook 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."

"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!"

"Race and healing? Not words you often see together! Yet Anneliese
Singh has brought her gifts together as a healer, a scholar, a
clinician, and an activist to weave a heartfelt and liberating book
of hope. 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. This is
a gift and a balm for the racial wounds we all carry!"

"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!"
--Kevin Cokley, PhD, Oscar and Annie Mauzy Regents Professor for

and author of the book The Myth of Black
Anti-Intellectualism--Kevin Cokley, PhD
"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!"
