The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop
The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How To Decolonize the Creative Classroom | Felicia Rose Chavez
4 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
The Antiracist Writing Workshop is a call to create healthy, sustainable, and empowering artistic communities for a new millennium of writers. Inspired by June Jordan 's 1995 Poetry for the People, here is a blueprint for a 21st-century workshop model that protects and platforms writers of color. Instead of earmarking dusty anthologies, imagine workshop participants Skyping with contemporary writers of difference. Instead of tolerating bigoted criticism, imagine workshop participants moderating their own feedback sessions. Instead of yielding to the red-penned judgement of instructors, imagine workshop participants citing their own text in dialogue. The Antiracist Writing Workshop is essential reading for anyone looking to revolutionize the old workshop model into an enlightened, democratic counterculture.

Cold noodles & nonfiction for lunch.

THE ANTI-RACIST WRITING WORKSHOP remains excellent. I highly recommend it to educators and to writers who‘re considering what they want in a workshop.

Sunday night outdoor reading material. THE ANTI-RACIST WRITING WORKSHOP is excellent. Chavez advocates for a supportive approach that lets students dig much deeper than the rigid, white-centric workshop models that currently dominate. I‘m eager to read on.

X is a reread I don‘t remember very well, but I think some of it‘s coming back to me. If I‘m wrong, I‘m gonna spend a lot of time wondering which manga series all my rememberings DO come from.

Such a great read for any #EnglishTeacher to read. This gave me a lot of ideas and I loved listening to Chazev's personal anecdotes weaved throughout the narrative.
