À propos de cet audio

 An instant New York Times Bestseller!

A no-holds-barred guidebook aimed at white women who want to stop being nice and start dismantling white supremacy from the team behind Race2Dinner and the documentary film, Deconstructing Karen

It's no secret that white women are conditioned to be "nice," but did you know that the desire to be perfect and to avoid conflict at all costs are characteristics of white supremacy culture?

As the founders of Race2Dinner, an organization which facilitates conversations between white women about racism and white supremacy, Regina Jackson and Saira Rao have noticed white women's tendency to maintain a veneer of niceness, and strive for perfection, even at the expense of anti-racism work.

In this book, Jackson and Rao pose these urgent questions: how has being "nice" helped Black women, Indigenous women and other women of color? How has being "nice" helped you in your quest to end sexism? Has being "nice" earned you economic parity with white men? Beginning with freeing white women from this oppressive need to be nice, they deconstruct and analyze nine aspects of traditional white woman behavior--from tone-policing to weaponizing tears--that uphold white supremacy society, and hurt all of us who are trying to live a freer, more equitable life.

White Women is a call to action to those of you who are looking to take the next steps in dismantling white supremacy. Your white supremacy. If you are in fact doing real anti-racism work, you will find few reasons to be nice, as other white people want to limit your membership in the club. If you are not ticking white people off on a regular basis, you are not doing it right. Questions de genre Racisme et discrimination Sciences sociales Discrimination Justice sociale

In a world where many deny the existence of white supremacy while perpetuating its harm, this is an important and necessary read. Dismantling white supremacy and practicing anti-racism isn't about whether people are good or bad, every person has the capacity for good and bad; it's about investigating our biases and understanding our conditioning. It's about making space for other people's stories; making space for Black stories and experiences, something white supremacy has restricted and denied. I suspect many who identify as white will find this a challenging read and will find it hard to look towards their darkness because white supremacy teaches there is no darkness in whiteness, only enlightenment. In the words of Seth Adam "you cannot defeat darkness by running from it, nor can you conquer your inner demons by hiding them from the world. In order to defeat the darkness, you just bring it to the light." This book challenges readers to bring their darkness to the light and for that reason, many will feel triggered by it. But for those that want to be world changers, this is a conversation that must be had.

I chose this book to learn more about myself as a white woman. The authors clearly understand some of our key struggles, such as competitiveness. Based on other books that I have listened to, such as So You Want to Talk About Race? I understood their concepts of race/racism and understood the role I play. I applaud them for their efforts to get us to open our minds to their perspective through the Race to Dinner and other efforts. Well worth listening to if you are willing to be open to it.

Full of many stories that clearly illustrate their points.

This is the first book I’ve read on the subject of internal racism and as this book puts white feminism. It’s an essential call out of your behaviours and actions that you don’t even realize. How can you understand a person of colour if you are not one? This book is a step in the direction of understanding why prejudice is passed along from generation to generation. I am at the very beginning of my understanding learning and accepting of my mindset and behaviour towards POC

A necessary look at yourself and your own prejudices

This book is a must read and a book you must share with your white friends. Like the book says, we white women must hold each other accountable and I feel part of that is encouraging all the white women we know of to read this book!!!!!

Share this With You White Friends
