"The Uses of Anger: Women Responding to Racism" by Audre Lorde. Audre writes about the difficulties of speaking about racism, especially between white women and women of color, and how feelings and expressions of anger in such conversations don't necessarily need to lead to alienation, but can be used for transformative and healing work. It's a short read, and really awesome.

Those of y'all who might not know about Audre Lorde should take some time to look her up. She's amazing, and she's had a tremendous impact on conversations about race and racism in this country.
