Poles Apart: Why We Turn Against Each Other and How We Come Together

Poles Apart explores the shaping force of our genetic make-up on our fundamental views and the nature of the influences that family, friends and peers exert. The book pinpoints the economic and political triggers that tip people from healthy disagreement to dangerous hostility, and the part played by social media in spreading entrenched opinions. And it helps us to understand why outlooks that can seem so bizarre and extreme to us seem so eminently sensible to those who hold them.

Why do people become divided? What steps can we all take to reduce hostility and bring about understanding?

Check out this webinar with the creators of the acclaimed Changed My Mind podcast as we find out why people turn against each other, and how to bring them together. It's eye-opening.


NOTE: There's a musical intro that lasts slightly over a minute.

Poles Apart_testimonial-1.jpg

Humans are social animals. We seek out like-minded individuals and form groups based on common interests and identity. But in clustering with ‘people like us,’ we tend to shun ‘people not like us’ and become hostile and polarized. Why does this happen? And can it be reversed? 

​

On December 6 2021, Intelligence Squared brought together an expert on polarization, a behavioural scientist and a professional communicator to explain why we are so prone to be drawn into rival, often deeply antagonistic, factions. Drawing from their new book Poles Apart, they explored whether ‘tribalism’ is in our genetic make-up and how other factors such as friends and family influence our behaviour. They also pinpointed the economic and political triggers that tip people from healthy disagreement to dangerous hostility, and the part played by social media in spreading entrenched opinions.

Racism is not about intent; it is about the result of a behaviour no matter how innocent the intention.

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s acclaimed Racism without Racists documents how, beneath our contemporary conversation about race, there lies a full-blown arsenal of arguments, phrases, and stories that whites use to account for—and ultimately justify—racial inequalities.

 

The sixth edition of this provocative book includes new material on systemic racism and how color-blind racism framed many issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. A revised conclusion addresses what readers can do to confront racism—both personally and on a larger structural level.

​

New to this edition:

  • New Chapter 2, “What is Systemic Racism? Coming to Terms with How Racism Shapes ‘All’ Whites (and Non-Whites)” explains how all members of society participate in structural racism.

  • New Chapter 10, “Color-Blind Racism in Pandemic Times” provides coverage of racial disparities in mortality, the role of essential workers, and hunger during the pandemic – particularly how public discourse did not reflect how these problems are worse for communities of color.

  • Updated discussion of police surveillance and violence reflects the current salience of police brutality in the U.S. and enhances the conversation on suave racial discrimination (Chapter 3).

  • Addresses the question, “What is to be done?” and offers White people ideas on what they can do to change themselves (Chapter 11).

Why I'm no Longer Talking to White People.png

Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race

In 2014, award-winning journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge wrote about her frustration with the way that discussions of race and racism in Britain were being led by those who weren't affected by it. She posted a piece on her blog, entitled: 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race' that led to this book.

Exploring issues from eradicated black history to the political purpose of white dominance, whitewashed feminism to the inextricable link between class and race, Reni Eddo-Lodge offers a timely and essential new framework for how to see, acknowledge and counter racism. It is a searing, illuminating, absolutely necessary exploration of what it is to be a person of colour in Britain today.

"The debate on racism is a game to some and I don’t want to play."
– Reni Eddo-Lodge

 

In June 2020, as the murder of George Floyd and the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement reverberated around the world, one book stood out as a way to make sense of the moment. Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge became a lightning rod for a national conversation about racial inequality and why we need a better understanding of Black history.  

 

Eddo-Lodge said her desire for the book was not to give a prescription for what to do next but to provide the tools for people to think critically about racism and challenge it around them. Originally published in 2017, the book has won countless awards and sold over one million copies. Now Eddo-Lodge is back with an updated edition reflecting on events of the past few years. Has society gone ‘woke’? Is antiracism being hijacked by the culture wars? And how do we make sense of the racial reckoning of 2020 and the backlash against it? 

 

In this live London event filmed in July 2022, award winning journalist, podcaster and author Reni Eddo-Lodge came to Intelligence Squared in conversation with Gary Younge to reflect on the public conversation around race in the five years since she wrote the multi award winning bestseller Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race.

How to be an Antiracist.jpg

Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America--but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. In How to be an Antiracist, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.

In this book, Kendi weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science, bringing it all together with an engaging personal narrative of his own awakening to antiracism. How to Be an Antiracist is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond an awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a truly just and equitable society.

​

​

“Kendi dissects why in a society where so few people consider themselves to be racist the divisions and inequalities of racism remain so prevalent. How to Be an Antiracist punctures the myths of a post-racial America, examining what racism really is—and what we should do about it.”
- Time

“Ibram Kendi is today’s visionary in the enduring struggle for racial justice. In this personal and revelatory new work, he yet again holds up a transformative lens, challenging both mainstream and antiracist orthodoxy. He illuminates the foundations of racism in revolutionary new ways, and I am consistently challenged and inspired by his analysis. How to Be an Antiracist offers us a necessary and critical way forward.”
- Robin DiAngelo, New York Times bestselling author of White Fragility

Powerful conundrums exist when it comes to raising white children in a society full of racial injustice.

How do we raise our children to be allies in the struggle against racism?

Living in a racially unjust and deeply segregated nation creates unique conundrums for white children that begin early in life and impact development in powerful ways. Raising White Kids offers age-appropriate insights for teaching children how to address racism when they encounter it and tackles tough questions about how to help white kids be mindful of racial relations while understanding their own identity and the role they can play for justice. 

​

These conundrums begin early in life and impact the racial development of white children in powerful ways. What can we do within our homes, communities and schools? Should we teach our children to be “colorblind”? Or, should we teach them to notice race? What roles do we want to equip them to play in addressing racism when they encounter it? What strategies will help our children learn to function well in a diverse nation?

Talking about race means naming the reality of white privilege and hierarchy. How do we talk about race honestly, then, without making our children feel bad about being white? Most importantly, how do we do any of this in age-appropriate ways?

While a great deal of public discussion exists in regard to the impact of race and racism on children of color, meaningful dialogue about and resources for understanding the impact of race on white children are woefully absent. Raising White Kids steps into that void.

 

Ideal for parents, teachers, and anyone who cares about and cares for children.

"Racism is not about people's intentions. Racism is about the impact and the hurt of their actions. Intentions do not matter. And that's a hard one for people, because they cling to being good as a way of saying "I'm not a racist." I don't care if you're racist. I care if you're hurting me."

"Demanding an end to racism, and a remedy for its legacy, is not just morally correct but a boost to economic development. Continuing to deny the existence of racism, and refusing to confront it, will lead to a less vibrant, less cohesive, less prosperous world."
How to Raise an Antiracist.JPG

Ibram X. Kendi shot to global fame with his book How To Be an Antiracist, which reshaped the conversation about racial justice when it was published in 2019.

​

On July 4 2022, he was on the Intelligence Squared stage for an exclusive event to talk about his new book How To Raise an Antiracist. 

​

How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist?
How do kids at different ages experience race?

How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better?

​

These are the questions Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But, as Kendi will argue, it is only by teaching our children about the reality of racism and the myth of race from the earliest age that we can actually protect them and preserve their innocence and joy. And he will draw on a century of scientific research and his own compelling personal story to make his case.

Harvard psychologists have been studying what it takes to raise 'good' kids. Here are 6 tips.

By S. SETHURAMAN 

​

One of the tips is:

Show your kids the bigger picture

"Almost all children empathize with and care about a small circle of families and friends," said the researchers. While it may feel natural to care for those around you, it's important to care about people who are socially, culturally and even geographically outside their circles. Exposure through travel, meeting new people and embracing new cultures can help widen their worldview and do away with prejudices that may have taken form. Parents can also show examples of people exhibiting empathy and kindness in the news and entertainment, to emphasize the importance of being kind to others. "Raising a caring, respectful, ethical child is and always has been hard work. But it's something all of us can do. And no work is more important or ultimately more rewarding," reads the study.

Antiracist Baby introduces the youngest readers and the grown-ups in their lives to the concept and power of antiracism, providing the language necessary to begin critical conversations at the earliest age

 

Dr. Kendi's children’s book, written in rhyme, offers nine steps, including seeing skin color, celebrating differences and growing up to be an antiracist. “Parents use books to teach about love or kindness or to potty train. Why not do the same for teaching our kids to be anti-racist,” Dr. Kendi said. He notes that people who are uncomfortable talking about race often come from homes where it wasn’t a topic of conversation.

 

“Our parents didn’t want to talk to us about it in a controlled constructive environment,” he said. “We didn’t even learn to start having these conversations because we’d already been trained by our parents that this was something you don’t talk about. There’s a cycle.”

Five Little Indians.JPG

“Residential schools will always be the sorrow in Canada’s bones,” Richard Van Camp says in his cover endorsement of Five Little Indians, Michelle Good’s debut novel
(Harper Perennial, 2020).
 

Five Little Indians tells the story of five friends who survive a church-run residential school to which they refer as Indian School or Mission School. While Michelle Good uses actual place names, in most cases in the novel, such as Port McNeil and Vancouver, B.C., the location of the Indian School isn’t given.

 

Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention.

Alone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn’t want them. The paths of the five friends cross and crisscross over the decades as they struggle to overcome, or at least forget, the trauma they endured during their years at the Mission.

Fuelled by rage and furious with God, Clara finds her way into the dangerous, highly charged world of the American Indian Movement. Maisie internalizes her pain and continually places herself in dangerous situations. Famous for his daring escapes from the school, Kenny can’t stop running and moves restlessly from job to job—through fishing grounds, orchards and logging camps—trying to outrun his memories and his addiction. Lucy finds peace in motherhood and nurtures a secret compulsive disorder as she waits for Kenny to return to the life they once hoped to share together. After almost beating one of his tormentors to death, Howie serves time in prison, then tries once again to re-enter society and begin life anew.

With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward.

COMMENT

​

For me, this book made clear the genesis of the inter-generational trauma, as well as the tremendously debilitating and enduring repercussions of the residential school system that so many Indigenous people are suffering. The interconnected stories of the five main characters succinctly and powerfully bring to light the kind of long-term impacts that years of abuse, dislocation and disconnection can have and why it will take generations to overcome.

To Kill a Mockingbird.jpg

To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by the American author Harper Lee. It was published in 1960 and was instantly successful. In the United States, it is widely read in high schools and middle schools. The book has become a classic of modern American literature, winning the Pulitzer Prize. It is a novel containing truths so universal that they bear repeating. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was ten.

 

Despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality, the novel is renowned for its warmth and humor. 

 

To Kill a Mockingbird is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice, probing how good and evil can coexist

within a single community or individual. Scout’s moral education is twofold:

  1. to resist abusing others with unfounded negativity, 

  2. to persevere when these values are inevitably, and sometimes violently, subverted. 

Some excerpts from this seminal book follow:

 

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view …
Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

 

“I wanted you to see what real courage is ...
It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”

 

"People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for."

 

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

 

"Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of another ... There are just some kind of men who -- who're so busy worrying about the next world, they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results."

“Waking Up White is the book I wish someone had handed me decades ago. My hope is that by sharing my sometimes cringe-worthy struggle to understand racism and racial tensions, I offer a fresh perspective on bias, stereotypes, manners, and tolerance. As I unpack my own long-held beliefs about colorblindness, being a good person, and wanting to help people of color, I reveal how each of these well-intentioned mindsets actually perpetuated my ill-conceived ideas about race. 

 

I hope it will give you or someone you know new insights into how racism works and why you (or white people you know) can get so anxious when it comes to talking about race and racism. Writing the book was not only my way to reach out to other white people confused and/or curious about racism, it was like writing a five-year-long journal entry in an effort to make sense of all I learned and experienced in my research."

No Bootstraps When You-re Barefoot.jpg

From one of Canada’s most successful business leaders, the founder of the BlackNorth Initiative and the newest and first Black Dragon in the Dragon’s Den comes a rags-to-riches story that also carries a profound message of hope and change.

​

Wes Hall spent his early childhood in a zinc-roofed shack, one of several children supported by his grandmother. That was paradise compared to the two years he lived with his verbally abusive and violent mother; at thirteen, his mother threw him out, and he had to live by his wits for the next three years. At sixteen, Wes came to Canada, sponsored by a father he’d only seen a few times as a child, and by the time he was eighteen, he was out of his father’s house, once more on his own. Yet Wes Hall went on to become a major entrepreneur, business leader, philanthropist, and change-maker, working his way up from a humble position in a law firm mailroom by way of his intelligence, his curiosity, and his ability to see opportunities that other people don’t.

​

When people expected his thick Jamaican accent, lack of money and education, not to mention the colour of his skin, to shut down his future, Wes was not to be stopped. He is still overturning expectations to this day. Well aware of racism and injustice, his lack of privilege and the other roadblocks to his success, Wes has always believed that he can walk along any cliff edge without falling. His book teases out and shows how he fostered that resolve in himself, exploring his childhood and the milestone successes and failures of his career in order to share not only how he stopped himself from falling, but survived and thrived, and then dedicated himself to bringing his family and his community along with him.

​

Now, with the founding of the BlackNorth Initiative, Wes takes aim at ending systemic anti-Black racism. It’s a huge goal, but one he’s tackling with heart, soul, smarts, and every connection he’s made in an extraordinary career that’s taken him to the centre of the Canadian establishment. Throughout his life he’s resisted sinking into despair or getting lost in anger; now he wants to tell truth to power and pave a path forward.

Life After Hate

The Cure for Hate.jpg

How does an affluent, middle-class, private-school-attending son of a doctor end up at the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho, falling in with and then recruiting for some of the most notorious neo-Nazi groups in Canada and the United States?

The Cure for Hate paints a very human picture of a young man who craved attention, acceptance, and approval and the dark place he would go to get it. Tony McAleer found an outlet for his teenage rage in the street violence of the skinhead scene. He then grew deeply involved in the White Aryan Resistance (WAR), rising through the ranks to become a leader, and embraced technology and the budding internet to bring white nationalist propaganda into the digital age. After fifteen years in the movement, it was the outpouring of love he felt at the birth of his children that inspired him to start questioning his hateful beliefs. Thus began the spiritual journey of personal transformation that enabled him to disengage from the highest levels of the white power movement.

This incisive book breaks commonly held stereotypes and delivers valuable insights into how regular people are drawn to violent extremism, how the ideology takes hold, and the best ways to help someone leave hate behind. In his candid and introspective memoir, Tony shares his perspective gleaned from over a thousand hours of therapy, group work, and facilitating change in others that reveals the deeper psychological causes behind racism. At a period in history when instances of racial violence are on the upswing, The Cure for Hate demonstrates that in a society frighteningly divided by hate and in need of healing, perhaps atonement, forgiveness, and most importantly, radical compassion is the cure.

To hate someone is a powerful emotional response that can easily escalate to violence. In his book, “The Cure for Hate,” former white supremist Tony McAleer takes the reader inside his life story.
Born into an affluent Vancouver family, the events of his life lead him to join some of the most notorious neo-Nazi groups in Canada and the US.

Conversation That Matters invited Tony McAleer, one of the founders of Life After Hate, to join them for a conversation about his mission to help people leave hate groups.

​

In the video presentation, we learrn that the hate exhibited by an individual is often a sign of an underlying issue that includes a failure to be seen, to be accepted. A recognition of this fact may be the key to positive change. Ultimately, we're all looking to be loved; we're all looking to belong; we're all looking to have somebody see us as significant.

Tell Me Who You Are GUIDE.JPG

In this deeply inspiring book, Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi recount their experiences talking to people from all walks of life about race and identity on a cross-country tour of America. Spurred by the realization that they had nearly completed high school without hearing any substantive discussion about racism in school, the two young women deferred college admission for a year to collect first-person accounts of how racism plays out in this country every day--and often in unexpected ways.

In Tell Me Who You Are, Guo and Vulchi reveal the lines that separate us based on race or other perceived differences and how telling our stories--and listening deeply to the stories of others--are the first and most crucial steps we can take towards negating racial inequity in our culture. Featuring interviews with over 150 Americans accompanied by their photographs, this intimate toolkit also offers a deep examination of the seeds of racism and strategies for effecting change.

This groundbreaking book will inspire readers to join Guo and Vulchi in imagining an America in which we can fully understand and appreciate who we are.

Challenging Racist British Columbia
150 Years and Counting

ChallengingRacistBCBook.jpg

This booklet dives into the long history of racist policies that have impacted Indigenous, Black and racialized communities in the province over the last 150 years since BC joined Canada. The illustrated booklet, co-published by the CCPA-BC Office, ties the histories of racism and resistance to present day anti-racist movements.
 

This engaging resource has been designed to assist anti-racist educators, teachers, scholars, policymakers and individuals doing anti-racism work to help pierce the silences that too often have let racism grow in our communities, corporations and governments.

​

In addition to the booklet, the project released a 3-part accompanying video series and an enhanced, interactive digital edition (EDE) targeted at educators. The EDE is a user-friendly online reading experience of the 150YC text and also contains a "Teachers' Corner" webpage and further learning materials including links to primary sources, community-based resources, learning activities, and more.

The book isn't just about the history of the province, but about ongoing systemic racism and how we can rethink where we've come from, and where we want to go in terms of racial equality.

On March 21st 2021, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office and the Pacific Canada Heritage Centre and the Museum of Migration Society co-hosted the launch of Challenging Racist "British Columbia": 150 Years and Counting.

 

All seven authors – Nicholas XEMŦOLTW̱ Claxton, Denise Fong, Fran Morrison, Christine O’Bonsawin, Maryka Omatsu, John Price and Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra – and the illustrator John Endo Greenaway were present to share how they hoped the illustrated resource will be used by educators and activists interested in doing anti-racist work. The discussion was moderated by PCHC Director, Dr. Carol Liao.

 

This free and open access publication examines the historical thread of racism and how it connects to the racism that is ongoing. Individuals, educators, and policymakers can use this to amplify the diversity of voices and experiences in our movement and pathway forward.

 

This book will be further developed into an interactive online resource.
