What does it mean to be white in a society that proclaims race meaningless; yet is deeply divided by race? In the face of pervasive racial inequality and segregation; most white people cannot answer that question. In the second edition of this seminal text; Robin DiAngelo reveals the factors that make this question so difficult: mis-education about what racism is; ideologies such as individualism and colorblindness; segregation; and the belief that to be complicit in racism is to be an immoral person. These factors contribute to what she terms white racial illiteracy. Speaking as a white person to other white people; DiAngelo clearly and compellingly takes readers through an analysis of white socialization. Weaving research; analysis; stories; images; and familiar examples; she provides the framework needed to develop white racial literacy. She describes how race shapes the lives of white people; explains what makes racism so hard to see; identifies common white racial patterns; and speaks back to popular narratives that work to deny racism. Written as an accessible overview on white identity from an anti-racist framework; What Does It Mean to Be White? is an invaluable resource for members of diversity and anti-racism programs and study groups; and students of sociology; psychology; education; and other disciplines. This revised edition features two new chapters; including one on DiAngelo’s influential concept of white fragility. Written to be accessible both within and without academia; this revised edition also features discussion questions; an index; and a glossary.

It's hard to buy stuff and it gets old buying wolf stuff all the time; but he loved this! I think he mentally left the party for a good long time while he was looking through it. He's always nice about the presents he gets but he rarely loves his presents. I hit it out of the ball park with this one!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

Her birthday is in February; falling this year in the deepest frozen tundra of the coldest winter here in New York since 1885. The other day she told me that "The Hidden Life of Wolves" is getting her through the winter! She has always loved wolves and this remarkable story of humans living among wolves touches her to the core. What a gift to be invited into the inner sanctum of this very precious species. Thank you Jim and Jamie Dutcher for bringing them up close and personal for so many people to enjoy.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully Illustrated..awooooo!By J. RasmussenThis book is the documented dedicated research of Jim and Jamie Dutcher over many years living in the wild with wolves.I am a wolf advocate and am heart broken over the past two years since the delisting of wolves was passed in a budget bill that was conveniently slipped in as a rider. The States have taken control over wolf "management" (more like slaughter) and it is refreshing to see the work; love; and dedication of the wolves the Dutcher's studied and actively interacted with. Their book is a tremendous read and I couldn't put it down until I finished it. It is so beautifully illustrated and I highly recommend it
