This second edition expands the provocative analysis of the racist colonial dynamics at play in philanthropy and finance into other sectors and offers practical advice on how anyone can be a healer.
Though it seems counterintuitive, the $1 trillion philanthropic industry has evolved to mirror colonial structures ultimately doing more harm than good. Edgar Villanueva has seen past the field's glamorous, altruistic façade, and into its shadows: white supremacy, savior complexes, and internalized oppression. In this critically important book, he shows how to make money a tool of love, to help us thrive rather than to hurt and divide us.
The second edition has two new chapters. “Medicine Beyond Money” relates inspiring examples of people using their resources to decolonize entertainment, museums, libraries, land ownership, and much more . “Story as Medicine” explains how sharing our stories is a vital part of that process.
Across history and to the present day, the accumulation of wealth is steeped in trauma. Drawing from Native traditions, Villanueva empowers individuals and institutions to acknowledge and begin to repair the damage done through his Seven Steps to Healing: Grieve, Apologize, Listen, Relate, Represent, Invest, and Repair. As Villanueva writes “Everyone has a role in the process of healing. All our suffering is mutual. All our healing is mutual. All our thriving is mutual.”

Community shapes our identity, quenches our thirst for belonging, and bolsters our physical, mental, emotional, and economic health. But in the chaos of modern life, community ties have become unraveled, leaving many feeling afraid or alone in the crowd, grasping at shallow substitutes for true community.
In this thoughtful and moving book, Paul Born describes the four pillars of deep community: sharing our stories, taking the time to enjoy one another, taking care of one another, and working together for a better world. To show the role each of these plays, he shares his own stories—as a child of refugees and as a longtime community activist.
It's up to us to create community. Born shows that the opportunity is right in front of us if we have the courage and conviction to pursue it.

It’s up to us to create community. Born shows that the opportunity is right in front of us if we have the courage and conviction to pursue it.
People in all areas of society hunger for community. Tamarack director Paul Born shows how people can move from no community, shallow community, or bogus community (“community of fear”) to deep community in their relationships with others.
Ordinary Ukrainians reveal how courage, community, and civilian resistance are helping their nation survive Russia’s invasion in unforgettable stories of resilience and hope.
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the world expected Kyiv to fall within days. The tanks, missiles, and troop counts seemed to tell one story. But the people changed the narrative.
Yuriy Boyechko and Halyna Lubinska tell the true stories of Ukrainians who answered the war not with power or position but with action. A stone craftsman cancels his flight to America and volunteers on the front lines. A grieving pastor makes more than 187 trips to the front after his combat-medic son is killed. A psychologist nearly breaks under the weight of others’ trauma, then finds her way back to healing. Rock musicians and roadies turn their technical skills toward repairing generators, fixing vehicles, and building drones.
Together, their stories reveal how civilian resistance, humanitarian aid, community networks, and ordinary courage are helping Ukraine survive Russia’s invasion, showing readers
This is the story of what ordinary people can do when history leaves them no safe place to stand.

The comprehensive and foundational text for critically analyzing and applying actionable DEI techniques and strategies, written by one of LinkedIn's most popular experts on DEI.
The importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace cannot be understated. But when half-baked and under-developed strategies are implemented, they often do more harm than good, leading the very constituents they aim to support to dismiss DEI entirely.
DEI Deconstructed analyzes how current methods and best practices leave marginalized people feeling frustrated and unconvinced of their leaders' sincerity, and offers a roadmap that bridges the neatness of theory with the messiness of practice. Through embracing a pragmatic DEI approach drawing from cutting-edge research on organizational change, evidence-based practices, and incisive insights from a DEI strategist with experience working from the top-down and bottom-up alike, stakeholders at every level of an organization can become effective DEI changemakers. Nothing less than this is required to scale DEI from interpersonal teeth-pulling to true systemic change.
By utilizing an outcome-oriented understanding of DEI, along with a comprehensive foundation of actionable techniques, this no-nonsense guide will lay out the path for anyone with any background to becoming a more effective DEI practitioner, ally, and leader.

La verdad ineludible es que el racismo sistémico y las estructuras coloniales son principios fundamentales de nuestras economías.
Nuestra industria filantrópica de mil millones de dólares es un ejemplo flagrante. ¿Cómo, pues, cambiamos la filantropía y otras industrias hacia la reconciliación social y la sanación si sus premisas básicas son la explotación, la extracción y el control? En Descolonizar la riqueza, Edgar Villanueva mira más allá de la glamurosa y altruista fachada de la filantropía y nos introduce en sus sombras: supremacía blanca, complejo de salvador y opresión interiorizada. Después, basándose en tradiciones nativas, Edgar empodera a individuos e instituciones para comenzar a reparar los daños mediante sus siete pasos para la sanación. En esta segunda edición, añade inspiradores ejemplos de personas que utilizan sus recursos para descolonizar el sector del entretenimiento, museos, bibliotecas, la propiedad de tierras y mucho más. Todos podemos ser personas y líderes sanadores para restaurar el equilibrio, y todos tenemos que hacer nuestra parte. ¿Estás dispuesto?
