Dismantling Racism One On One

Published in 2023 by Strategic Book Publishing, Dismantling Racism One On One: Uniqueness Narrative Equity is one of the few antiracism books to focus on interpersonal rather than systemic racism.

Unlike most books about dismantling racism, this one focuses on two-person and small-group conversations. Drawing on true stories, John shows how identifying your own uniqueness, and honoring the uniqueness of others, can transform racist interactions one conversation at a time. Readers learn to offer and invite reflections, choices, and important feelings so that, even across real difference, uniquenesses meet.

It works both as a practical guide for anyone who wants to communicate more honestly across race, and as the foundation for workshops, seminars, and classes on race and equity.
