Anti Opression Resources

Resources for Anti-Opression and Cultural Competency

This is a work in progress document to support our work with Shilo George...

Vinnie's Recommendations:

“White Fragility” and “What Does It Mean to Be White” by Robin DiAngelo. Also just searching podcast interviews with her is a recommended.
 
“Seeing White” a season on the podcast “Scene on Radio” tells origins and formative moment in the history of the creation and evolution of whiteness
 
“Men” also a season from Scene on Radio. Particularly episode 4 on intersection of racism and sexism but really the whole thing is worth a check out.
 
“The Me and White Supremacy workbook” by Layla Saad. I haven’t gotten very far into this yet but I trust the creator.  It is a workbook and can be downloaded free online. Big labor and gift from black woman of color.
 

Muireall's recommendations: 

 
-Race in North America by Audrey Smedley (this is from an anthropological epistemology but the writing is accessible. Smedley is a Black anthropologist and I think this is one of the most important books about race in the anglo-centric world ever written. It's a chronological account of how the phenomenon of race was constructed by Europeans and why. there are lots of pictures! they're not all nice pictures)
- An Indigenous Peoples' History, ofc
-The Fire Next Time- James Baldwin (oldie but goodie)
-Anything by Angela Davis, bell hooks, Audrey lorde
-Let the Fire Burn. (a documentary about the MOVE house and that one time in he 80s when Philly bombed an entire neighborhood to kill some radical Black people and their children)
-From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawai'i, by Haunani-Kay Trask. (she also wrote Eros and Power: The Promise of Feminist Theory, which I want to read but haven't yet). Including this because the information is very relevant to most places than have been colonized by Britain and America.
On that note, if there are any authors indigenous to this area who are writing about sovereignty I would love to be reading their work! anyone know of anything?
 
- there's an incredible album called Our Native Daughters that was made by southern Black feminist musicians. They took historical primary source accounts of the experiences of Black people in the south and turned them into contemporary but rootsy music. It's extremely good and nuanced and moving and tells some stories about incomprehensible brutality and also about deep resilience. and I like the way it conveys the full reality of all this shit through art and not academia speak. like, truly all the trigger warnings for that one though. 
 
Buffy saint Marie also weaves a lot of indigdnous oral history into her (*very* 80s) music. Especially "bury my heart at wounded knee"
 
-Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies-Seth Holmes (a piece of medical anthropology about Migrant Farmworkers and Capitalism. very accessible ethnography, i.e. much more than most)
-Climbing Poetree! more oral history.
-Race in North America by Audrey Smedley (this is from an anthropological epistemology but the writing is accessible. Smedley is a Black anthropologist and I think this is one of the most important books about race in the anglo-centric world ever written. It's a chronological account of how the phenomenon of race was constructed by Europeans and why. there are lots of pictures! they're not all nice pictures)

Jenny's recommendation:
 
- Robin DiAngelo's website has a lot of resources
- she also has some other documents to add.
