Brit Barron gets it. Those people who hurt us with their bigotry and ignorance…they’re often the people we love: they’re our friends, parents, grandparents, and religious leaders. And what we want is for them to grow, not to be unpersoned by an online mob. So what can it look like to strive for justice without giving up on these people we love or causing new harm? Barron shows that the only way forward is to create a gracious and difficult space for people to grow. We have to form the sorts of relationships where we can practice difficult truth-telling, boundary setting, forgiveness, and sharing stories of own failings. And this way forward starts with examining ourselves. In Do You Still Talk to Grandma?, Barron draws readers into this tension between relationship and painful accountability, sharing experiences from her own life, like her parents’ divorce and a church community that sided with the forces that dehumanize BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. Barron illuminates the challenges and hope for these relationships, showing that the best research points towards humility, self-awareness, and an openness to learning and to remembering that others can learn too. Barron envisions a redemptive way of being that allows progressives to love people who say or believe problematic things without sacrificing themselves, their values, or their beliefs. Provocative, charming, and vulnerable, Do You Still Talk to Grandma? is an essential read for anyone struggling to live compassionately without giving up on conviction.
