Reviews"...contains honest and revealing assessments of what it means to be white. They alert the reader to what it means to give up white privilege and to become a force for the easing of the racial divide....for white educators who seek to forge unknown and uncomfortable territory (as we must if we are to contribute to the ameliorations rather than the perpetuation of racism), this book provides an indispensable road map." Multicultural Review, "...a text that will foster critical discussions on multiple levels among faculty, community leaders and undergraduate and graduate students....unique in that it offers opportunities for readers to enter the text at multiple levels and places in their own journeys of fighting for a more just country." Journal of Moral Education, "...contains honest and revealing assessments of what it means to be white. They alert the reader to what it means to give up white privilege and to become a force for the easing of the racial divide....for white educators who seek to forge unknown and uncomfortable territory (as we must if we are to contribute to the ameliorations rather than the perpetuation of racism), this book provides an indispensable road map."- Multicultural Review

SynopsisThe authors of the narrative chapters represented in this volume have in common that they are dedicated to the realization of a critical, multicultural, democratic society. Individually, they are female and male, from diverse ethnicities, socio-economic class backgrounds, first language groups, religious and spiritual affiliations, and sexual orientations. They are professors of education, psychology, sociology, and communication as well as community activists. The stories that they share reveal the history of racism in this country over a fifty year period beginning in the late 1930s and continuing into the early 1980s. The stories are most diverse, and share what it was like growing up White during and after Jim Crow segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and busing and integration. Thus, there is a history here of our country's racism yesterday and today. Inviting students to experience this history may encourage them to further explore its ongoing manifestations.
