Talk: Rebecca Walker

Our multicultural world demands a deeper understanding of the relationship between human evolution and social transformation. Conflict is not a viable strategy for the permanent resolution of global issues. Walker, a mother, feminist author, cultural critic, and practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism, discusses her writings and the application of non-dualism in the field of problem resolution.

Rebecca Walker is the author of the international bestseller Black, White and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self (Riverhead Books) and the editor of What Makes a Man: 22 Writers Imagine The Future (Riverhead Books) and To Be Real: Telling the Truth and Changing the Face of Feminism (Anchor/Doubleday), which has been in print for ten years and is required reading in universities throughout America and abroad.
