Sometimes it even made me angry, but it always forced me to think about myself and assess the way I behave." -- Arthur Levine , Ph.D., president, Teachers College, Columbia University "Dr. Sue is mapping a warrior's path with a compassionate heart.This book will take the discussion of racism in our society to a new level in which we can finally begin to address it in a manner that will bring deep changes and not just more rhetoric." -- Eduardo Duran , Ph.D., Apache/Tewa, author, Buddha in Redface "Most of us have internalized attitudes that affect our actions in negative and unfair ways toward people of color. Sue's book allows us to understand those attitudes as well as the white privilege most White Americans do not realize they possess! All thinking people who wish to increase integrity in their interactions with others should read this book!" -- Melba J. T.

Though the book centers on racism and whiteness, it also gives an insightful approach to other biased behavior, whether based on gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or other common markers of prejudice. Most important, this book offers all of us the hope that constructive change is not only possible but within our capacity to achieve." -- Helen Zia , author, Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of An American People Zusammenfassung This extraordinary book by Derald Wing Sue! a highly-regarded academic and author! helps readers understand and combat racism in themselves.
