What Does It Mean to Be White?: Developing White Racial Literacy - Revised Edition - Paperback

by Shirley R. Steinberg (Other), Robin Diangelo (Author)

What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race meaningless, yet is deeply divided by race? Robin DiAngelo reveals the factors that make this question so difficult: mis-education about racism; ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; segregation; and the belief that to be complicit in racism is to be an immoral person.
