Summary:

"Both a blazing polemic against the concept of race as anything more than a means to create racism as well as a fundamental route toward active unification."--kirkusreviews.com.

"In the spirit of We Should All Be Feminists and How to Be an Antiracist, a poignant and sensible guide to questioning the meaning of whiteness and creating an antiracist world from the acclaimed historian and author of Twisted. Vital and empowering, What White People Can Do Next teaches each of us how to be agents of change in the fight against racism and the establishment of a more just and equitable world. In this affecting and inspiring collection of essays, Emma Dabiri draws on both academic discipline and lived experience to probe the ways many of us are complacent and complicit--and can therefore combat--white supremacy. She outlines the actions we must take, including: Stop the Denial--Interrogate Whiteness--Abandon Guilt--Redistribute Resources--Realize this shit is killing you too . . .To move forward, we must begin to evaluate our prejudices, our social systems, and the ways in which white supremacy harms us all. Illuminating and practical, What White People Can Do Next is essential for everyone who wants to go beyond their current understanding and affect real--and lasting--change."--Page 4 of cover.
