Summary
Annotation The deeply entrenched patterns of racial inequality in the US do not square with the liberal notion of a nation-state of equal citizens. Uncovering the false promise of liberalism, this book reveals race to be a fundamental, if flexible, ruling logic that perpetually generates and legitimates racial hierarchy and privilege.

Summary
The purpose of this book is to reconsider the ways and strategies in which antiracist scholars do their work, as well as to provide pragmatic ways in which people -- White and of color -- can build cross-racial, cross-communal, and cross-institutional coalitions to fight White supremacy. Employing the methodology of autoethnography, each chapter in this book illustrates the individual journey that the chapter contributor took to "unhook" him or herself from Whiteness. This book explains Whiteness in ways never conceptualized before. The chapters suggest approaches to "unhooking" from Whiteness, while sharing the authors' continual struggles to identify and eradicate the role of Whiteness in education and society in the United States. The contributors to this book offer us the invaluable gift of their stories, humble reflections on commitments to racial justice and complicities with racial injustice. But they aren't merely stories -- and this is the brilliance of the book -- they are invitations into a reconsideration of the "common sense" discussions about the nature of white privilege, the possibility of white anti-racism, and the pervasive tug of whiteness. This is the rare book that shifts the angle and changes the conversation.

Summary
Racism today is so subtle and ingrained that it is frequently not noticed by white people. That does not mean white people are bad. It means they have blind spots and the way they have taught their young has not changed in over a century. They often unconsciously have held that which prevents them from noticeably reducing negative skin color reactions. This book offers different and new ways to promoting the unlearning of that which continues racial and other injustices. Whites in particular have been silent about how our culture treats people with different skin colors. Let us explore whether we are willfully blind to it.--Preliminary remarks.

Summary
In this book, Lehman examines America's race problem with the understanding that America usually addresses race with the assumption that all things regarding race are presently correct and accurate. In so doing, America fails to confront the real problemof race. After discussing various aspects of race and its manifestations using both academic and secular references, the book presents a challenge to America to recognize its race problem by examining its present-day perceptions, language, and behavior. Some of the topics discussed include color, normalcy, racial priority, and slavery's legacy.

Summary
Lee D. Baker explores what racial categories mean to the American public and how these meanings are reinforced by anthropology, popular culture, and the law. Focusing on the period between two landmark Supreme Court decisions-Plessy v. Ferguson (the so-called "separate but equal" doctrine established in 1896) and Brown v. Board of Education (the public school desegregation decision of 1954)-Baker shows how racial categories change over time. Baker paints a vivid picture of the relationships between specific African American and white scholars, who orchestrated a paradigm shift within the social.

Summary
White Americans, abetted by neo-conservative writers of all hues, generally believe that racial discrimination is a thing of the past and that any racial inequalities that undeniably persist--in wages, family income, access to housing or health care--can be attributed to African Americans' cultural and individual failures.
