In Building A Pro-Black World: Moving Beyond DE&I Work and Creating Spaces for Black People to Thrive, a team of experienced nonprofit leaders delivers an incisive and fresh perspective on race and racial justice. In the book, editor Cyndi Suarez pushes the conversations around racial justice beyond the typical confines of the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movement. The book examines the urgent need to build a world in which Black people can thrive, and to design nonprofit organizations, programs, services, and philanthropy for people who are most marginalized by systems of power. It advances the argument that creating a better world for the marginalized will improve the lives of everyone. Capturing the ongoing shift in nonprofit theory and practice from critiquing white supremacist culture and calling out anti-Blackness to actively designing for pro- Blackness, Building a Pro-Black World presents a collection of brand-new articles and substantial revisions to previously published content. It contains articles written by Dax-Devlon Ross, Liz Derias, Kad Smith, Isabelle Moses, Darnell Adams, Titilola Harley, Candace Stanciel, and Angela N. Romans. The book tackles a broad range of subjects within the category of racial justice and pro-Blackness, including restorative leadership techniques to promote staff well-being, new language for pro-Black social change, racial equity in healthcare and health communications, anti-racist succession planning, training strategies for board governance, Black politics and policymaking, and the redefinition of nonprofit leadership in a pro-Black context. An exceptionally thought-provoking resource, Building A Pro-Black World is essential reading for nonprofit managers, board members, staffers, and other business and civil society leaders interested in discovering restorative and equitable strategies for creating a fair and productive work environment.
