During this difficult time in our nation's history, with the focus
on "racial reckoning", it is crucial that Americans understand when
and how our "race-based hierarchy" came to be invented. The Promise
of Whiteness: Its Past and Its Future explores the psycho-social
impact of the promise of "whiteness" upon the past and present-day
race relations in the United States. The "promise of
whiteness"-which includes the "place", "privilege" or advantages of
whiteness, the "power" bestowed by whiteness, and the "protection"
from punishment for violence toward blacks-is examined. Crucial to
the book's concept is a discussion of the psychological needs met
by whiteness and the needs, fears, anxieties, and dissonance
produced as well. Finally, the book questions if the "promise of
whiteness" is still viable in America as it has evolved into a
multiracial society, and recommends that Americans, as a nation,
commit to an equal society for all members regardless of race or
social class. This book expands on several chapters previously
published in A Time for Change: How White Supremacy Ideology Harms
All Americans.
