EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Racial privilege is hard to see for those who were born with access to power and resources. Yet it is very visible for those to whom it was not granted. Understanding White Privilege is written for individuals and those in organizations who grapple with race every day, as well as for those who believe they don't need to. It is written for those who have tried to build authentic professional relationships across races but have felt unable to do so. It is written for those who believe strongly in the struggle for racial justice and need additional information to share with their friends and colleagues. Inviting readers to think personally about how race--theirs and others'--frames experiences, relationships, and the way we each see the world, Understanding White Privilege focuses squarely on white privilege and its implications by offering specific suggestions for what we each can do to bridge the racial chasm.

A Book for All to Read  
This is book should be mandatory reading for all white people in an increasingly diverse world. The issue of white privilege impacts most aspects of life among blacks and whites, and whites and other races.

Understanding White Privilege: Creating Pathways to Authentic Relationships Across Race  
Frances wrote a very thought provoking book. I was ready for someone to start yelling about racism and how White people are racist. However, she was thoughtful and through. She not only looked at the historic prospective, but the problems of today. In addition, she gave solutions and not just problems.
