Description
In this collection of essays, several white psychologists share the stories about the cultures in which they were raised and how whiteness shaped their identities without their realizing it at the time. They write about how they became aware of the ways that whiteness is privileged and normalized and discuss their own responses to this awareness. Accompanying each essay is a commentary by a psychologist of color who reacts to the themes presented in the white authors’ essays. The ultimate goals of this book are to foster the understanding and empathy required for true multiculturalism and to help white readers to see their race and culture not as invisible or the norm, but rather as one way of being out of many.
