Publisher's Synopsis
Why are white supremacists still openly marching in the United States? Why are undocumented children of colour separated from their families and housed in cages? Where did racism come from? Why hasn't it already disappeared? And what can young people do about it? 'Rise Up!' breaks down the origins of racial injustice and its continued impact today, connecting dots between the past and present. By including contemporary examples of the ways young people can help create a more inclusive world, sociologist Crystal Fleming shares the values that unite all antiracists: compassion, solidarity, respect and courage in the face of adversity.
