Racial discrimination in America has deep historical roots that persist to this day, leading to disparities in areas like police shootings, high incarceration rates, and unlawful, tragic deaths Understanding these roots is crucial to addressing the ongoing challenges in achieving racial equality and healing from racial trauma. From Discrimination to Inclusion: A Journey of Transforming and Embracing Diversity by Ruth Chu-Lien Chao examines various forms of racism, including individual, internalized, interpersonal, and institutional racism, to provide a better understanding of the detrimental consequences they have in BIPOC communities. Seeking a way forward, Chao develops strategies to address racism through anti-racism exercises, collaboration among individuals from diverse racial backgrounds, and racial inclusion by promoting empathy, diversity, and equal opportunities. This book also explores the importance of empathy and openness toward racial inclusion and how this can be cultivated through education and policy implementation. By integrating strategies that encourage us to both challenge racism and address the traumatic responses that it evokes, this book advocates for a society where diversity is celebrated, and racism is actively addressed. Promoting racial inclusion is a collective effort that requires ongoing commitment and action at both individual and systemic levels.

After more than two hundred years, racial discrimination continues to affect the well-being of persons of color and society as a whole. Chao presents five parallel levels of racial discrimination and inclusion, the historical background of racism, and theories of transformation and change. She explains how racism hurts both the dominant culture and individuals within marginalized communities, ultimately providing an original model for healing. This book is recommended for those wishing to learn about the history of racism, its effects on all people, and steps to take to transform our society.
