Whiteness in Question
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The exploration of "race" typically dwells on the processes of racism as enacted on minority populations. This book is very different: it examines how whites construct their own identities, and their often unconscious sense of privilege, AS whites. The contributors are educators and psychologists, and for the most part they are sharing compelling details from their research as observers or interviewers. One especially provocative piece listens in as a British family discusses the Royals and possible marriage partners for Prince Charles; another is a series of interviews with white working-class American males on their feelings about Affirmative Action, welfare, etc. A very important book for educators and serious students alike, all the more so as it concludes with an agenda for change in the future.
