What does it look like to let go of Whiteness? Whiteness promotes a
form of hegemonic thinking, which influences not only thought
processes but also behavior within the academy. Working to
dismantle the racism and whiteness that continue to keep oppressed
people powerless and immobilized in academe requires sharing power,
opportunity, and access. Removing barriers to the knowledge created
in higher education is an essential part of this process. The
process of unhooking oneself from institutionalized whiteness
certainly requires fighting hegemonic modes of thought and
patriarchal views that persistently keep marginalized groups of
academics in their station (or at their institution). In the
explosive Unhooking from Whiteness: Resisting the Esprit de Corps,
editors Hartlep and Hayes continued the conversation they began in
2013 with Unhooking from Whiteness: The Key to Dismantling Racism
in the United States. This third and final volume focuses on the
writers' processes to let go of the pathology of Whiteness. The
contributors in this book have once again come from an intersection
of races, ethnicities, sexual identities and gender identities and
includes conversations across these multiple intersections. The
editors move from prepared precises on multicultural education
toward actionable conversations that drive social justice agendas
and have the power to eliminate educational inequities.
