Using anecdote, analysis, and scriptural reflection, Set Free offers language and insight to describe the names racism calls us. Six chapters define, illustrate, and suggest response to internalized racist oppression among communities of color. Three more chapters grapple with issues of internalized racist superiority among white communities. The final four chapters present practical principles and guidelines for working together across racial lines.

This collaborative project brings together decades of mutual experience dismantling racism in the Christian community and the combined perspectives of an African- American woman, a Mexic-Amerindian woman, and a white male. At times hopeful, consistently perceptive, and always grounded in real-life struggles, the authors have contributed a significant resource to those who are ready to take the next step beyond surface solutions to racism's insidious evil.
