Anti-Racist Readings and Resources

Authors’ Note: In accordance with well-established principles of academic freedom, we believe that conversations about race and its role in American history and present-day society are an important part of civic discourse and that students and instructors should have the freedom to discuss ideas about race. We are presenting these chapters and readings on race as optional resources for students and instructors. In accordance with Idaho HB 377, we state that our intention in providing these resources is not to:

direct or otherwise compel students to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to any of the following tenets:

(i)                 That any sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior;

(ii)                That individuals should be adversely treated on the basis of their sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin; or

(iii)               That individuals, by virtue of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin, are inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin (Idaho HB 377)
