How did America become a nation obsessed with race? A Time for
Change explores America's beginnings as a "class-based" society,
the creation of America's racial consciousness through the
invention of the social construction of "whiteness", and the ways
in which white supremacist ideology has been infused, reinforced
and perpetuated in the collective American mind and culture through
the utilization of stereotypical images of blacks. The purpose of
the book is to explore how the ideology of white supremacy has done
immeasurable damage to all Americans, whites as well as blacks and
other persons of color. In this context, the relationship between
racism and classism is explored. The book provides an opportunity
by which those Americans who identify and are perceived as "white"
can engage in a process of self-reflection to transcend one's
attachment to the social construction of "whiteness" and white
supremacy ideology that have been forced upon them. It is the
premise of this book that racial healing in this nation can only
occur through a true examination of America's history, as well as
individual and collective responsibility and efforts to undo over
300 years of racist cultural conditioning.
