As the president of the student group Uncomfortable Learning at Williams College, Zachary Wood knows all about intellectual controversy. From John Derbyshire to Charles Murray, there's no one Zach refuses to debate or engage with simply because he disagrees with their beliefs--sometimes vehemently so--and this controversial view has given him a unique platform on college campuses and in the media. But Zach has never shared the details of his own personal story, and how he came to be a crusader for open dialogue and free speech. In Uncensored, he reveals for the first time how he grew up poor and black in Washington, DC, in an environment where the only way to survive was to resist the urge to write people off because of their backgrounds and their perspectives. By sharing his troubled upbringing--from a difficult early childhood filled with pain, uncertainty, and conflict to the struggles of code-switching between his home in a rough neighborhood and his elite private school--Zach makes a compelling argument for a new way of interacting with others, in a nation and a world that has never felt more polarized. In Uncensored, he hopes to foster a new outlook on society's most difficult conversations, both on campus and beyond"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Wood, Zachary R. $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100197 650 0 $a Interpersonal communication. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85067481 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85067484 650 0 $a Race relations. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85110249 650 0 $a Urban poor $z Washington (D.C.) $x Social relations. 650 0 $a Poor children $z Washington (D.C.) 650 0 $a Street life $z Washington (D.C.) 651 0 $a Washington (D.C.) $x Social relations. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009100039 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021013516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A285B240CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
