DISPATCHES, From Racial Divide to a Road of Repair is a collection of 32 eye-opening essays by Carolyn L. Baker written to help White Americans understand America's problems with race. In the wake of nationwide Black Lives Matter protests against racial injustice and police brutality, many Americans are taking steps to educate themselves about racism in the US. Baker's dispatches are a follow-up to her award-winning biographical odyssey, AN UNINTENTIONAL ACCOMPLICE in which she explored her personal reckoning with race. In DISPATCHES, Baker asserts with her collected essays that implicit racial bias harms and debilitates the soul of the White community, flies against its deepest moral and religious traditions, and is theirs to dismantle for the sake of their own liberation. Throughout this volume, Baker suggests that Americans should shift the responsibility for repairing the racial divide out of the hands of the system and into the hands of the diverse community where many multicultural conversations and collaborations can occur. Baker's goal in DISPATCHES, From Racial Divide to a Road of Repair, a Collection of Essays is to challenge, inspire, and uplift readers who, like herself, want to create a bottom-up paradigm for building community to drive authentic social change.
