What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race
meaningless yet is deeply divided by race? In the face of pervasive
racial inequality and segregation, most whites cannot answer that
question. Robin DiAngelo argues that a number of factors make this
question difficult for whites miseducation about what racism is;
ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; defensiveness;
and a need to protect (rather than expand) our worldviews. These
factors contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy.
Speaking as a white person to other white people, Dr. DiAngelo
clearly and compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white
socialization. She describes how race shapes the lives of white
people, explains what makes racism so hard for whites to see,
identifies common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular
white narratives that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible
introduction to white identity from an anti-racist framework, What
Does It Mean To Be White? is an invaluable resource for members of
diversity and anti-racism programs and study groups and students of
sociology, psychology, education, and other disciplines.
