Synopsis
Describes the racist tendency of Whites to always and forever center the discussion of virtually any subject on whiteness, and suggests how to get past this worldview.
Booknews
Fifteen contributions examine the process of developing anti-racist views among European-Americans in the context of multicultural education. Acknowledging race as a socio-politically constructed phenomena, educators explore their personal experiences with "Whiteness," their encounters with populations of other races (mostly African-Americans), and their journeys to anti-racism and multiculturalism. The narratives range across geographies and time periods. A final chapter explores some of the pedagogical issues raised in the narratives. ^ Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknew.com)
