how we grow the world we want Benjamin, Ruha 1978- creator text bibliography biography nju 2022 monographic eng ix, 373 pages ; 25 cm Benjamin draws on her own experiences as well as research to show how we can build a more just world--one small, and viral, step at a time. Long before the pandemic, Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. The twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Here she explores how we can transform society through the choices we make every day. Benjamin shows how seemingly minor decisions and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive effects. She introduces us to community organizers who are fostering mutual aid and collective healing. -- adapted from jacket Introduction: The White House, "I want to grow up and so should you" -- Weather, "Bodies tell stories that people will not tell" -- Hunted, "Where life is precious, life is precious" -- Lies, "What are we pretending not to know today?" -- Grind, "You are not a machine, stop grinding" -- Exposed, "Your baby is beautiful and so are you" -- Trust, "We want to be at the table, not on the table" -- La Casa Azul, "Be willing to be transformed in the service of the work".
