Strength of Soul
Overview
In STRENGTH OF SOUL, Naomi Raquel Enright offers practical strategies and insights for confronting systemic racism by addressing the fundamental beliefs of racial difference and white supremacy. Through personal stories, including her family's experiences, Enright examines the language that supports these ideologies. She reflects on her identity as a bilingual, multiethnic person and as a mother to a son perceived as white. Enright challenges the societal belief in an inherent divide between the experiences of white individuals and others, which fosters a sense of "us" versus "them." She argues that embracing one's full identity can empower individuals to combat systemic racism and the language that perpetuates it. Through her poignant and personal narratives, Enright encourages readers to envision a society committed to justice, healing, and genuine transformation. STRENGTH OF SOUL is intended for those willing to question the status quo and work towards systemic change in the face of institutionalized and internalized racism.
