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 white people
cannot answer that question. In the second edition of this seminal
text, Robin DiAngelo reveals the factors that make this question so
difficult: mis-education about what racism is; ideologies such as
individualism and colorblindness; segregation; and the belief that
to be complicit in racism is to be an immoral person. These factors
contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy. Speaking as a
white person to other white people, DiAngelo clearly and
compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white
socialization. Weaving research, analysis, stories, images, and
familiar examples, she provides the framework needed to develop
white racial literacy. She describes how race shapes the lives of
white people, explains what makes racism so hard to see, identifies
common white racial patterns, and speaks back to popular narratives
that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible overview on
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. This revised edition
features two new chapters, including one on DiAngelo's influential
concept of white fragility. Written to be accessible both within
and without academia, this revised edition also features discussion
questions, an index, and a glossary.
