About this audiobook
Witnessing Whiteness invites listeners to consider what it means to be white, describes and critiques strategies used to avoid race issues, and identifies the detrimental effect of avoiding race on cross-race collaborations. The author illustrates how racial discomfort leads white people toward poor relationships with people of color. Questioning the implications our history has for personal lives and social institutions, the book considers political, economic, socio-cultural, and legal histories that shaped the meanings associated with whiteness. Drawing on dialogue with well-known figures within education, race, and multicultural work, the book offers intimate, personal stories of cross-race friendships that address both how a deep understanding of whiteness supports cross-race collaboration and the long-term nature of the work of excising racism from the deep psyche. Concluding chapters offer practical information on building knowledge, skills, capacities, and communities that support anti-racism practices, a hopeful look at our collective future, and a discussion of how to create a culture of witnesses who support allies for social and racial justice.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As the daughter of Mexican immigrants, I listened to better understand the descendants of colonization and found my answers. I would encourage anyone to listen, especially my White siblings. It opened my awareness to subtle forms of control utilized to undermine progress and unity. "An Indigenous History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and "Stamped From the Beginning" by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi are excellent companion books to illustrate the need for dismantling this form of oppression for the good of all.
