    About this audiobook

    Winner of the 2022 ECPA Christian Book Award for Faith & Culture

    How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it.

    In this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller the Color of Compromise, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior.

    The A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways:

    • Awareness: educate yourself by studying history, exploring your personal narrative, and grasping what God says about the dignity of the human person.
    • Relationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make reconciliation real and motivate you to act.
    • Commitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it.

    Tisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world, and you can be part of the solution.

    Accompanying graphics and tables are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

      Practical and inspirational. This book needed to be written at this time. Being an activist myself, this book was a huge encouragement to keep doing the work. For those not knowing where to start, this is a practical guide on how to get started. Biblically-base, Holy Spirit-led writing. Thank you Jemar Tisby.

      It is very much a "how to" book, step by step, telling those who may be uncomfortable or unlearned at addressing racism in a forward moving way, how to do it, what to expect, and with historical context. He also gives recommendations of other resources to facilitate hard conversations about this topic. Very informative.
