Becoming an ally : breaking the cycle of oppression / Anne Bishop.
"This book is a dialogue--by a white, lesbian feminist who co-leads with a Black colleague a workshop on racism--about the answers to questions on the nature of oppression: where does it come from, has it always been with us, what can we do to change it, what does individual healing have to do with struggles for social justice, why do members of the same oppressed group fight each other, why do some who experience oppression develop a life-long commitment to fighting oppression, while others turn around and become oppressors themselves?" -- amazon.com
