Withstanding the Lie

Armed with this five-step program for thwarting and coping with bigotry and discrimination, you will have a renewed appreciation for yourself and for others who are perceived as "different."

The book is broken up into three parts to help you strengthen your self-esteem:

The first section consists of personal testimony from the authors, who have dealt with their fair share of racial injustices. You'll see that they have suffered just like you. The next section is made up of short stories demonstrating bigotry, discrimination, and unfairness. Read how a few fictitious characters overcame-or fell prey to-such malice. Finally, the last section is a series of essays exploring every step of this all-important five-point strategy to dealing with bigotry. The most important tool for fending off hate speech is strong self-esteem. The steps in this book will give you the necessary tools to strengthen yours.
