Kip Fulbeck - The Hapa Project

I thought Kip's presentation yesterday was great, and I heard a lot of comments about it, both in the affinity group and in my family group.

This resource isn't specifically for white allies, but it might be interesting to use some of his work in our schools. In particular, he adds a level of complexity to a racial conversation that often breaks people down into a false binary of black or white, as though those were the only two choices.

Kip's work is available at www.thehapaproject.com or www.myspace.com/thehapaproject.

You can also see some of his movies on-line for free, including "Lilo + Me" and "Sex, Love, and Kung Fu," here. His book will cost you $13.57 at Amazon.com, since the SDLC bookstore sold out.
