The infamous rise in characterizations of white women as Becky(s)
is a modern phenomenon, different from past characterizations like
the Miss Anne types. But just who embodies the Becky? Why is it
important to understand, especially with regards to anti-racism and
racial justice? Understanding that learning, moreover even
discussing, dynamics of race and gender are oftentimes met with
discomfort and emotional resistance, this creative, yet theoretical
book merges social science analyses with literary short stories as
a way to more effectively teach about the impact of whiteness and
gender. Additionally, the book includes guiding questions so that
readers can critically reflect on the behaviors of Becky(s) and how
they impact the hope for racial harmony. Designed specifically for
both educational spaces and the larger society, the author, an
educational researcher and former classroom teacher, approaches the
topic of race and gender, specifically whiteness and white women,
in a nuanced manner. By borrowing from traditions found in critical
race theory and teacher education, this book offers both
counterstories and anecdotes that can help people better understand
the dynamics behind race and gender.
