520    "What if there were a set of rules to educate people 
       against race-based social faux pas that damage 
       relationships, perpetuate racist stereotypes, and harm 
       people of color? This book provides just that in an effort
       to slow the malignant domino effect of race-based 
       ignorance in American communities and workplaces to help 
       address the vestiges of our nation's racist past. Race 
       Rules is an innovative, practical manual for white people 
       of the unwritten "rules" relating to race, explaining the 
       unvarnished truth about racist and offensive white 
       behaviors. It offers a unique lens from Fatimah Gilliam, a
       light-skinned Black woman, and is informed by the 
       revealing things white people say when they don't realize 
       she's Black. Presented as a series of race rules, this 
       book has each chapter tackling a specific topic many 
       people of color wish white people understood. Combining 
       history and explanations with practical advice, it goes 
       beyond the theoretical by focusing on what's 
       implementable. Gilliam addresses issues such as: Racial 
       blinders and misperceptions; White privilege; Racial 
       stereotypes; Everyday choices and behaviors that cause 
       racial harm. Introducing a straightforward universal three
       -step framework to unlearn racism and challenge 
       misconceptions, this book offers readers a chance to 
       change behaviors and shift mindsets to better navigate 
       cross-racial interactions and relationships. Through its 
       race etiquette guidelines, it teaches white people to 
       become action-oriented racism disruptors instead of silent,
       complicit supporters of white supremacy"--|cProvided by
