Editorial Reviews

A revised edition of the ground breaking 1981 volume reflects current research and theories while maintaining its initial focus: How is racism part of the fabric of white Americans' lives? The 12 essays focus on what constitutes white racial identity and racism, and how that identity is played out in the government, in foreign policy, and in corporate America. By focusing on both the individual and public levels, these discussions promote a complexity of views which refocus racism, not as an African-American problem but one which privileges whites in America and also disadvantages them on social and personal levels.
