In this Race + Power Weekly we see how the evolution of narratives on power is impacting systemic change. We get a first glimpse into a roundtable hosted by Edge Leadership on the state of race and power today, captured in this far-ranging interaction as a battle for power. An article on a recent online event urges those who seek to grasp the policy window we are in to think of this moment not as a pandemic, but as a syndemic—multiple afflictions interacting synergistically—that requires a larger vision for change. An article on intermediaries explores how increasingly sophisticated power analyses are shaping what nonprofit organizations expect from them, and how the field needs to catch up. Finally, we have a personal account from a black male leader on confronting the dominant identities that undergird our social challenges, including his own.
