White Self-Criticality beyond Anti-racism powerfully emphasizes the
significance of humility, vulnerability, anxiety, questions of
complicity, and how being a "good white" is implicated in racial
injustice. This collection sets a new precedent for critical race
scholarship and critical whiteness studies to take into
consideration what it means specifically to be a white problem
rather than simply restrict scholarship to the problem of white
privilege and white normative invisibility. Ultimately, the text
challenges the contemporary rhetoric of a color-blind or
color-evasive world in a discourse that is critically engaging and
sophisticated, accessible, and persuasive.

Hope, Heart, and the Humanities How a Free College Course is
Changing Lives Edited by Jean Cheney and L. Jackson Newell with
Hikmet Sidney Loe, Jeff Metcalf, and Bridget M. Newell Hope, Heart,
and the Humanities tells how Venture, a free, interdisciplinary
college humanities course inspired by the national Clemente Course,
has helped open doors for hundreds of students who, for various
reasons, faced barriers to attending college. This course has given
them the knowledge, confidence, and power to re-chart their lives.
Readers will go inside Venture classrooms to see what occurs when
adults enter serious discussions of literature, critical writing,
art history, American history, and philosophy. Also apparent are
the difficulties nontraditional students often encounter and the
hard choices they and their teachers make. But what readers may
remember most are the stories and voices of people whose views of
the world have broadened and whose directions in life have change.
