Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

How we can use knowledge, empathy and action to reimagine the world around us

Over the past year, we have seen a profound awakening. Institutions and communities have taken down statues and flags, the names of white supremacists in universities and on buildings have been replaced and as we continue to see action, we are also collectively unlearning incorrect history and leaning hard into the truth.

In this radical work, social entrepreneur, philanthropic innovator and public academic, Rachel Cargle breaks down KEA - knowledge, empathy and action - and how these elements serve as a lens to reimagine everything from racial justice to relationships to education and beyond.

Investigating how white supremacy flourishes in the feminist movement, educational establishments, beauty and body standards, our notions of intimate relationships, ancestry and cultural ideas around rest and productivity, A Renaissance of Our Own serves as a starting point for the pursuit of critical knowledge, the cultivation of radical empathy and acting intentionally.

Through this process, we are taken on our journey to understanding our highest values - abundance, opportunity and ease. By reimagining our purpose, approaches to philanthropy, ethical entrepreneurship and radical vigilance, this book provides a framework for the great re-imagining we are primed for.
