WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE WHITE? - ROBIN DIANGELO...

What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race meaningless yet is deeply
divided by race? In the face of pervasive racial inequality and segregation  most whites cannot
answer that question. Robin DiAngelo argues that a number of factors make this question
difficult for whites miseducation about what racism is  ideologies such as individualism and
colorblindness  defensiveness  and a need to protect (rather than expand) our worldviews. These
factors contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy. Speaking as a white person to
other white people  Dr. DiAngelo clearly and compellingly takes readers through an analysis of
white socialization. She describes how race shapes the lives of white people  explains what
makes racism so hard for whites to see  identifies common white racial patterns  and speaks
back to popular white narratives that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible
introduction to white identity from an anti-racist framework  What Does It Mean To Be White? is
an invaluable resource for members of diversity and anti-racism programs and study groups and
students of sociology  psychology  education  and other disciplines.
