Felicia Rose Chavez’s
The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is written to and for those who teach, but it’s hard to imagine any writer who won’t be inspired by the force of its vision. This is a book that begs its reader to “care for the writerly self,” put “hands and minds in motion,” “submit to mess,” and “start feeling.” In the classrooms we enter through its pages, there is silly-putty on the tables and aromatherapy in the air. Where the culture of white supremacy deadens, Chavez teaches her students and her readers to “come back to the body, back to life.”
