When George Yancy penned a New York Times op-ed entitled "Dear
White America" asking white Americans to confront the ways that
they benefit from racism, he knew his article would be
controversial. But he was unprepared for the flood of vitriol in
response. The resulting blowback played out in the national media,
with critics attacking Yancy in every form possible-including death
threats-and supporters rallying to his side. Despite the rhetoric
of a "post-race" America, Yancy quickly discovered that racism is
still alive, crude, and vicious in its expression. In Backlash,
Yancy expands upon the original article and chronicles the ensuing
controversy as he seeks to understand what it was about the op-ed
that created so much rage among so many white readers. He
challenges white Americans to rise above the vitriol and to develop
a new empathy for the African American experience.
