Book Title
Learning to Be White: Money, Race and God in America
Book Description
Learning to Be White examines how white people in the United States grow into their whiteness. Thandeka seeks to better understand why white people think, feel, and act the ways they do. This book inspired me to imagine more nuanced treatments of anti-racist, critical whiteness pedagogy that invite white people into better understanding their whiteness as a way to disrupt white supremacy.
