In the burgeoning field of whiteness studies, "What White Looks
Like" takes a unique approach to the subject by collecting the
ideas of African-American philosophers. George Yancy has brought
together a group of thinkers who address the problematic issues of
whiteness as a category requiring serious analysis. What does white
look like when viewed through philosophical training and
African-American experience?
In this volume, Robert Birt asks if whites can "live whiteness
authentically." Janine Jones examines what it means to be a
"goodwill white." Joy James tells of beating her "addiction" to
white supremacy, while Arnold Farr writes on making whiteness
visible in Western philosophy. "What White Looks Like" brings a
badly needed critique and philosophically sophisticated perspective
to central issue of contemporary society.
