By Ijeoma Oluo
In Taking The War Out Of Our Words, Ijeoma Oluo provides a much-needed roadmap for having difficult conversations about race, gender, and other sensitive topics. With her characteristic wit and wisdom, Oluo offers a framework for communicating across difference without resorting to violence or hate speech.
Oluo begins by exploring the history of language and its role in shaping our understanding of the world. She argues that the words we use have the power to create and reinforce divisions between people. For example, the term "race" is a social construct that has been used to justify centuries of oppression. By challenging the language we use, we can begin to dismantle the systems of inequality that have been built upon it.
Oluo also provides practical advice for having difficult conversations. She emphasizes the importance of listening to each other's perspectives, even when we disagree. She also encourages us to use "I" statements to express our own feelings and experiences, rather than blaming others. By following these guidelines, we can create a more respectful and productive dialogue.
Taking The War Out Of Our Words is an essential reading for anyone who wants to create a more just and equitable world. Oluo's insights are invaluable for anyone who wants to have difficult conversations in a way that is both productive and healing.
