| Summary: | A comprehensive collection on the topic of whiteness from writers in the field of mental health and activism. An up-front, close and fresh examination of the impact of whiteness and how it contributes to our troubled race relationships, this book posits that whiteness is a pervasive ideology that is rarely overtly identified or examined, although it has profound effects on race relationships in therapy and beyond. Being intentional about naming, deconstructing and dismantling whiteness is a precursor to responding effectively to the racial reckoning of our society and improving race relationships, addressing systemic bias and moving toward the creation of a more racially just world. Contributors to the volume are from different backgrounds and trainings, and write on such topics as the vicious cycle of white centrality, being Black in a world of whiteness, undoing internalized white supremacy, intersectionality and the contradictions of a white, Jewish identity, becoming an antiracist leader and building an antiracist clinical practice. |
