Being White - Stories of Race and Racism (Paperback, New)

The average white American adolescent has no concept of his or her racial identity. Race is something that only African Americans or Latino/a kids have to deal with is the common perception among white youth. In fact, most young people rarely think about their whiteness as it is an invisible identity. In Being White, sociologist Karyn McKinney explores what she calls everyday whiteness, that is, whiteness as lived by everyday experience. By looking into the lives of young white people, McKinney provides a fascinating portrait of the contours of white experience in American society. Beyond the invisibility of whiteness, she also finds that most young whites consider their racial identity a liability rather than a privilege. This is an explosive book that sheds light on a rarely studied or discussed topic.
