The authors of the narrative chapters represented in this volume
have in common that they are dedicated to the realization of a
critical, multicultural, democratic society. Individually, they are
female and male, from diverse ethnicities, socio-economic class
backgrounds, first language groups, religious and spiritual
affiliations, and sexual orientations. They are professors of
education, psychology, sociology, and communication as well as
community activists. The stories that they share reveal the history
of racism in this country over a fifty year period beginning in the
late 1930s and continuing into the early 1980s. The stories are
most diverse, and share what it was like growing up White during
and after Jim Crow segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and
busing and integration. Thus, there is a history here of our
country's racism yesterday and today. Inviting students to
experience this history may encourage them to further explore its
ongoing manifestations.
