Description
Robin DiAngelo explores what it means to be white in a society that struggles with racial inequality and segregation. She reveals how factors such as mis-education, ideologies like individualism and colorblindness, and the belief that being complicit in racism is immoral contribute to white racial illiteracy.
This book provides a framework for developing white racial literacy, explaining how race shapes the lives of white people, and identifying common white racial patterns. DiAngelo also addresses popular narratives that deny racism, offering an accessible overview on white identity from an anti-racist perspective.
