"Using engaging prose that will appeal to anyone curious about the reasoning behind white views on racism and sexism, Streib and Leondar-Wright expose the different logics whites use to make sense of charged situations. Highly recommended!”
NATASHA WARIKOO
Author of Is Affirmative Action Fair?
“A good book to think with. The authors are candid about their own lean- ings out of the gate, and speak unapologetically and earnestly from that point of view, while also modeling intellectual charity and humility. In this way, the book itself serves as a good example of the habits the conclusion encourages for others. A valuable book for social analysts and laypeople alike, across a broad spectrum of moral and political views.”
