Colleges across the country, and the nation as a whole continue to
be divided along racial lines. White Out: Understanding White
Privilege and Dominance in the Modern Age is about the role of
Whiteness and a defense of White dominance in an increasingly
diverse society. Whiteness is socially constructed, just as race is
undoubtedly a social construct, documented through various periods
in history. This book proposes that White Out is a learned habit
that serves to defend White dominance in a multicultural age. White
Out is a strategy that covers systems, dispositions, and actions
that cannot cover the full indentation or impact. However, the
action of blotting, either intentional or unintentional, serves to
obscure experiences of people of color in lieu of a competing
definition of reality. The authors introduce the White Architecture
of the Mind as a metaphor highlighting the mind as a collection of
walls, doors, windows, and pathways that influence individuals to
react based on a systemic logic that was socially constructed
reason. White Out, a byproduct of a White architecture of the mind,
is a set of individual actions, choices, behaviors, and attitudes
that are guided by a system that predisposes these attitudes and
perpetuates privilege for core members of a dominant majority. The
often-unconscious purpose in denying privilege and articulating
colorblind ideology is to support a larger system and view of
reality. The concepts covered in this volume include: White Pain,
Whitefluenza (privilege as a virus), White 22 (White if you do,
White if you don't), Whitrogressions, Angry White Men, White
Pilgrims, and Good White Friends.
