AND THE ANSWER TO RACISM • Articles published in the press nationwide • by Alice Bernstein and Others Journalist Alice Bernstein and co-authors— authorities in education, medicine, anthropology, filmmaking, business, photography, music, and aesthetics—come from cities throughout the US, Puerto Rico, Israel, England, Haiti, Germany, Egypt. Racism, we learned, does not begin with race, but with the human tendency to have contempt for everything the self sees as different. Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism, identified the cause of all injustice, contempt: the "addition to self through the lessening of something else." This anthology documents how contempt changes—not into tolerance, but into true respect for other people, and a conviction that we need the difference of the world to be all we can be. Some chapters are: "Words, Truth, and the Confederate Flag"; "Israelis and Germans Need to Study Contempt"; "An Anthropologist Speaks about Race";"The Answer to the Poverty and Prejudice Afflicting Native Americans"; "A Latino Perspective"; "Every Subject Is Anti-Prejudice: the Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method." We reprint one of the earliest essays by Eli Siegel, "The Equality of Man," and the landmark commentary "Racism Can End" by Ellen Reiss. 256 pages (6"x9"), richly illustrated, softcover
