Habits of Whiteness

Meer over het boek

Habits of Whiteness, Second Edition offers a revised and updated look at the concept of whiteness in the United States. Lauded when it was first published and even more relevant today. Habits of Whiteness offers a distinctive way to talk about race and racism by focusing on racial habits and how to change them. By getting to the core of the racism that lives on in unrecognized habits, MacMullan argues that it is possible for white people to recognize the distance between their color-blind ideals and their actual behavior. The second edition of Habits of Whiteness contains a new introduction (pages xi-xxviii), which looks closely at race relations during the Obama and Trump presidencies, including such recent challenges as police brutality in 2020, white supremacy, and the Capitol insurrection
