‘The Wisdom Pot’ was inspired by posts on a seniors’ platform that were meant to help members, their families and friends prepare and navigate through different stages in life. While compiling tributes to a fallen colleague, the author soon realized that the platform had so many informative, educative and entertaining words of wisdom for different ages. He collected those he felt could be shared with the wider society because of their relevance and usefulness. As the world wrestled with the COVID 19 pandemic, tips on protective measures such as sanitizing, washing hands and wearing masks featured regularly on the platform. So were tips on general health, especially for the elder citizens. The elders got to learn that proper networking, like checking on each other daily, can be lifesaving. The elders exchanged notes on the mid-career, getting married, bringing up children and finding real happiness. What many are ignorant about are the changes that come about in our families, jobs and ages. Did you know that many married women, when they reach 40-50 years and have children, become rebellious to their husbands?

In an American society both increasingly diverse and increasingly segregated, the signals children receive about race are more confusing than ever. In this context, how do children negotiate and make meaning of multiple and conflicting messages to develop their own ideas about race? Learning Race, Learning Place engages this question using in-depth interviews with an economically diverse group of African American children and their mothers. Through these rich narratives, Erin N. Winkler seeks to reorient the way we look at how children develop their ideas about race through the introduction of a new framework—comprehensive racial learning—that shows the importance of considering this process from children’s points of view and listening to their interpretations of their experiences, which are often quite different from what the adults around them expect or intend. At the children’s prompting, Winkler examines the roles of multiple actors and influences, including gender, skin tone, colorblind rhetoric, peers, family, media, school, and, especially, place. She brings to the fore the complex and understudied power of place, positing that while children’s racial identities and experiences are shaped by a national construction of race, they are also specific to a particular place that exerts both direct and indirect influence on their racial identities and ideas.
