Convening in racial affinity groups is a common exercise in anti-racist practice. Participants meet together with others of the same race to address the specific ways that racism manifests for their group. Many who work in anti-racist education and organizing see affinity grouping as an invaluable tool for consciousness-raising, self-reflection, skill-building, and taking action. DiAngelo and Burtaine provide an in-depth guide for those leading white affinity groups in a range of contexts, from a theoretical framework for understanding racism to setting up a group, and addressing common challenges.
