As this book was being written, the United States exploded in
outrage against the murder by police of people of color across the
country. Corporations, branches of state and local government and
educational institutions all pledged to work for racial justice and
the Black Lives Matters movement moved into the mainstream as
people from multiple racial and class identities pledged their
support to its message. Diversity initiatives abounded, mission
statements everywhere were changed to incorporate references to
racial justice, and the rampant anti-blackness endemic to US
culture was brought strikingly to the surface. Everywhere, it
seemed, white people were looking to learn about race. "What do we
do?" "How can we help?" These were the cries the authors heard most
frequently from those whites whose consciousness of racism was
being raised. This book is their answer to those cries. It's
grounded in the idea that white people need to start with
themselves, with understanding that they have a white racial
identity. Once you've learned about what it means to be white in a
white supremacist world, the answer of "what can I do" becomes
clear. Sometimes you work in multiracial alliances, but more often
you work with white colleagues and friends. In this book the
authors explore what it means for whites to move from becoming
aware of the extent of their unwitting collusion in racism, towards
developing a committed antiracist white identity. They create a
road map, or series of paths, that people can consider traveling as
they work to develop a positive white identity centered around
enacting antiracism. The book will be useful to anyone trying to
create conversations around race, teach about white supremacy,
arrange staff and development workshops on racism, and help
colleagues explore how to create an antiracist culture or
environment. This work happens in schools, colleges and
universities, and we suspect many readers will be located in K-12
and higher education. But helping people develop an antiracist
identity is a project that occurs in corporations, congregations,
community groups, health care, state and local government, arts
organizations, and the military as well. Essentially, if you have
an interest in helping the whites you interact with become
antiracist, then this book is written very specifically for you.
