Parenting for Liberation: A Guide for Raising Black Children

A lovingly written, smartly researched, must-read manual and guide for anyone parenting Black children, from infant to teenage years, the advice in this book is focused on liberation rather than fear. Trina Greene Brown and friends offer wisdom on self-care for parents and healing your own trauma, teaching self-love instead of tough love, creating a liberatory schooling environment, teaching your kids about their heritage (their advice: don't lead with slavery), conversations about safety, police violence, consent, accountability, creativity, faith, discrimination and prejudice, and so much more. Forward-thinking and unafraid, this excellent book looks beyond systems of oppression to reimagine a better future, starting in the home.
