Sobre IBD

Dinner with Trixie explores the past and the present within a slave-owning family, the enduring legacy of racism, personally, institutionally and culturally. Throughout the pages of this fictional tale, Janis Pryor invites us to consider several dynamics including how to envision addressing reparations, one family at a time; how to name the ways in which white fragility plays out from both conservative and liberal positions; the reality of racism as a mental health issue; and the way in which Christianity has colluded with and perpetuated the racial divide.It's a tale full of riches and lessons to be learned about the lives people lead, how they treat others, and the realization that first impressions are not always what they appear to be.
